AB  - A multiagent system may be thought of as an artificial society of autonomous softwareagents and we can apply concepts borrowed from welfare economics and social choicetheory to assess the social welfare of such an agent society. In this paper, we studyan abstract negotiation framework where agents can agree on multilateral deals toexchange bundles of discrete resources. We then analyse how these deals affect socialwelfare for different instances of the basic framework and different interpretations ofthe concept of social welfare itself. In particular, we show how certain classes of dealsare both sufficient and necessary to guarantee that a socially optimal allocation ofresources will be reached eventually.
