We describe how negotiation between agents is used to create coalitions of sensors that are joined into a Sensor Web. The work presented in this paper uses argumentation-based negotiation to allow sensors to rationally decommit from future tasks and to join a newly formed Sensor Web; or, alternately, to reject joining a Sensor Web if they believe their previous commitment to be more important. This research extends our previous system that used a combination of a Matchmaker architecture together with the Contract Net protocol to enable the dynamic, task-based creation of a Sensor Web. We tested our negotiation-based Sensor Web system using a simulation of a cyclonic event and a variety of sensors.
