ANALYSIS OF INCENTIVE COMPATIBLE MULTICRITERIA DECISIONS FOR A PRODUCER AND BUYERS PROBLEM

Lech Kruś, Jan Skorupiński, Eugeniusz Toczyłowski

Abstract:

The paper deals with analysis of incentive compatible multicriteria decisions within a computer-based multiagent framework. This general question is discussed on an example of a market decision problem, where a producer is introducing a product and some buyers are considering the purchase of the product. Decisions of the producer and buyers are multicriterial. Each of the buyers is seeking a product variant according to his own preferences. The producer decides which variant of the product is introduced to the market. In order to incentivize the decisions, one of his criteria takes into account an aggregated satisfaction of the buyers. A multiagent computer-based system has been constructed for supporting mulicriteria analysis made by buyers and by the producer. Selected results of an interactive session made with use of the system are presented and analyzed.

Keywords:

Incentive compatible decision mechanisms, multiagent systems, multicriteria optimization.
