However, in the business negotiation field, such as bargain, the AI has not yet exerted its power. In order to explore the application of AI into business negotiation, we have built an intelligent robot that can help customers?that lack negotiation skills when bargaining in their shopping sceneries. This bot can make decision by itself via price prediction function implemented?by machine learning algorithms and the tool of decision tree. As a result, our bot has?got a positive performance during a used car trade. Although the algorithm of the project is relatively simple, its main contribution is to show the potential application of AI in the business negotiation. We believe that it can provide ideas and directions for the future development of business negotiation robot.展开更多

In this paper we present an admission control algorithm thatexploits the elastic properties of the user requirements and the changing properties of systemconditions. The characteristic of the algorithm can be expounded from these aspects: First, itprovides multiple services to satisfy the different users' requirements regarding QoS and price.Second, it uses a worth function to select from media services with different QoS characteristics inthe negotiation process. Finally, it employs a novel price policy to compute the charge for theservice, which has a great effect on restricting the greediness of the users and therefore increasethe overall user benefit. In the end of the paper, we compare the user benefit attained by ouralgorithm with that of other method.展开更多
