- W612191998 abstract "Claims negotiation plays an important role in construction claims settlement and disputes resolution. However, claims negotiations are normally conducted inefficiently. Although many research projects have been undertaken on human behaviours in negotiation (e.g. negotiation planning, documentation and negotiation strategies) and computer-aidednegotiation, there is not an effective approach to solving such problem. The development of multi-agent systems provides an innovative approach to facilitating claims negotiation, where intelligent agents can negotiate with each other for the real world parties that theyrepresent. The significance of multi-agent systems lies in the fact that they match thefragmented nature of the construction industry.This thesis describes the work of developing a multi-agent system for construction claimsnegotiation (MASCOT). The objectives are to create an architecture for the agent system,and develop a negotiation mechanism for agent interaction. A conceptual MASCOTmodel is designed based on a thorough analysis of the nature, characteristics andproblems of construction claims negotiation, multi-agent systems negotiationmechanisms, and negotiation theories. A modified Monotonic Concession protocol andthe related negotiation strategies which are based on the integration of Zeuthen's riskevaluation model and Bayesian learning model were developed. A prototype was builtusing the ZEUS agent building toolkit and Java.The system was then assessedin terms of the quality of the negotiation mechanisma ndprototype using critical evaluation criteria and prototype evaluation. The result revealedthat the MASCOT system could significantly enhance the efficiency of constructionclaims negotiation. Furthermore, it is recognised that multi-agent systems have a great potential to solve the fragmentation problem in other construction areas such asscheduling, concurrent engineering; and collaborative design, particularly when theproject team members are geographically distributed. This research not only contributesto the improvement of construction claims negotiation, bdt also provides an effectiveapproach for the development of multi-agent 'system negotiation mechanism." @default.
