Reasoning about multi-attribute preferences

Published:10 May 2009Publication History

ABSTRACT

In our aim to develop a negotiation support system, we are faced with the need to express a user's preferences. The offers that are exchanged usually consist of multiple attributes. An agreement can only be reached if the preferences from both parties over these attributes and the complete offers are taken into account. The acceptablilty of an offer is defined in terms of the value that a negotiator attaches to it.
