Abstract
In this paper we propose an airline marketplace, modeled as a multi-agent system with an automated negotiation mechanism, where airlines can announce availability of resources (aircraft or aircraft and crew) for lease and other airlines can go there to contract resources to fill gaps in the operation, typically due to disruptions and/or an unexpected increase on the operation. The proposed negotiation occurs in several rounds, where qualitative comments made by the buyer agent on proposals sent by the sellers enables these to learn how to calculate new proposals, using a case-based reasoning methodology.
