Computing Pareto Optimal Agreements in Multi-issue Negotiation for Service Composition

In a market of services, customers require Service Based Applications (SBAs) with specific QoS constraints usually expressed as end-to-end requirements. Here, we show that mechanisms used to find Pareto optimal agreements can be extended in order to compute them also in the case of negotiation for market-based service composition, where different provider agents compete to provide the same service. Moreover, we discuss how these mechanisms allow a customer agent to concurrently negotiate with all available service provider agents.
