This bookcovers recent advances in Complex Automated Negotiations as a widely studiedemerging area in the field of Autonomous Agents and Multi-Agent Systems. The book includes selectedrevised and extended papers from the 7th International Workshop on Agent-Based ComplexAutomated Negotiation (ACAN2014), which was held in Paris, France, in May2014. The book also includes brief introductions aboutAgent-based Complex Automated Negotiation which are based on tutorials providedin the workshop, and brief summaries and descriptions about the ANAC'14 (AutomatedNegotiating Agents Competition) competition, where authors of selectedfinalist agents explain the strategies and the ideas used by them. Thebook is targeted to academic and industrial researchers in various communitiesof autonomous agents and multi-agent systems, such as agreement technology,mechanism design, electronic commerce, related areas, as well as graduate,undergraduate, and PhD students working in those areas or having interest inthem.

Multi-Agent System (MAS) is an exciting, emerging paradigm expected to play a key role in many society-changing practices. The International Conference on Principles and Practice of Multi-Agent Systems (PRIMA) is a leading scientific conference for research on intelligent agent systems and multi-agent systems, attracting high quality, state-of-the-art research from all over the world. PRIMA’09 was the 12th in the series of PRIMA conferences and was held in Nagoya, Japan. Beside a single-track main conference, PRIMA’09 also included a number of workshops which were designed to provide a forum for researchers and practitioners to present and exchange the latest developments at the MAS frontier. This book constitutes the post-proceedings of workshops under PRIMA’09. Readers will be able to explore a diverse range of topics and detailed discussions related to a number of important themes in our ever changing world. This collection plays an important role in bridging the gap between MAS theory and practice. It emphasizes the importance of MAS in the research and development of smart power grid systems, decision support systems, optimization and analysis systems for road traffic and markets, environmental monitoring and simulation, and in many other real-world applications and publicizes and extends MAS technology to many domains in this fast moving information age.
