OG-Narrator decomposition and Contract Net task market
OG-Narrator (arXiv:2402.15813)
offer generator
deterministic
Zeuthen / Rubinstein
LLM narrator
framing only
no numeric decisions
price
deal rate: 26.67% -> 88.88%
prices stay in the ZOPA; anchors are strategic
anti-pattern: LLM decides the price
single LLM call
generates both offer and framing
reveals reasoning in the output
deal rate: ~27%
prices drift; counterpart reads the reservation price
Contract Net Protocol (Smith 1980 / FIPA 1996)
manager
bidders
winner
losers (reject)
cfp
propose ยท accept
reject-proposal
scales: broadcast + collect + award; no synchronous chat
adopted in production task markets (Microsoft Agent Framework, some LangGraph implementations)
FIPA performative mapping: cfp -> propose -> accept-proposal / reject-proposal
