We are especially interested in semi-competitive scenarios, where each agent in the system acts on behalf of auser, trying to maximize its user preferences while pursuing a common agreement. In these conditions, and especially ifwe are dealing with open and dynamic environments like mobile ad-hoc networks, the goals and attitudes of softwareagents cannot be guaranteed. Taking this into account we propose a protocol where interaction among agents is done in afully-distributed manner, so that no user can have negotiation privileges over the others.
