Enabling Negotiating Agents to Explore Very Large Outcome Spaces

This work presents BIDS (Bidding using Diversied Search), an algorithm that can be used by negotiating agents to search very large outcome spaces. BIDS provides a balance between being rapid, accurate, diverse, and scalable search, allowing agents to search spaces with as many as 10250 possible outcomes on very run-of-the-mill hardware.
