ONE will be achieved through a set of technology components which can be tailored to the needs of a specific organization; depending on its business requirements and adapting to its every demand.
The project will deliver an open source platform for negotiation, driven by innovative business models and technologies; it will be implemented mainly as an integration of an innovative research component, delivered within the project, and made possible through off-the-shelf technology using already standardized information models.
It will extend and favour a more general purpose digital ecosystem architecture. There will be a general architectural framework developed for negotiation, allowing the adaptation of the platform to many different industry sectors.
ONE will provide a negotiation mechanism that is reusable in different application and service domains providing a great level of flexibility and allowing users for example to create negotiation processes also for other goals like for example "qualification" or "certification" processes.
The ONE platform will actively support the human negotiators by exploiting automatic learning techniques applied to the goal of learning the best negotiation strategies in a multi-agent environment. Optimized strategy would be suggested through a learning process based on the observation of user behavior, other partners' actions as perceived by the user and concurrent running negotiations.
ONE supports a model of collaboration and trust based on the idea of "collaborative multi-agent systems", where agents can work and learn with other trusted agents and develop collaborative learning schemes.
We will develop models of information and knowledge sharing, taking into account privacy concerns, based on a model of multiple agent clusters, characterized by different levels of trust.
The policy learning algorithms will be based on the observation and storage of real interactions between the user and the negotiation service and between the user and other players (Trust), as these are performed in the Negotiation Execution Environment.
The ONE negotiation environment will support technical and non-technical users in specifying strategies and rules for negotiating terms of service delivery. It will provide a distributed and peer-to-peer platform for fully automated execution of negotiations based on knowledge sharing and self-learning.
