摘要
We address long-term coalitions that are formed of both customer and vendor agents. We present a coalition formation mechanism designed at the agent level as a decision problem. The proposed mechanism is analyzed at both system and agent levels. Our results show that the coalition formation mechanism is beneficial for both the system-it reaches an equilibrium state-and for the agents-their gains highly increase over time.
