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.

A decentralized model for multi-attribute negotiations
ICEC '06: Proceedings of the 8th international conference on Electronic commerce: The new e-commerce: innovations for conquering current barriers, obstacles and limitations to conducting successful business on the internetThis paper presents a decentralized model that allows self-interested agents to reach "win-win" agreements in a multi-attribute negotiation. The model is based on an alternating-offer protocol. In each period, the proposing agent is allowed to make a ...
Multi-Attribute Decision Making Based on Attribute Importance Degree and Case-Based Reasoning
AbstractTo tackle a multi-attribute decision making problem, rough set and casebased reasoning are often combined. However, the reduction in a rough set is always complex. In this paper we provide a new relative importance measure about the ...
On possibilistic case-based reasoning for selecting partners for multi-attribute agent negotiation
AAMAS '05: Proceedings of the fourth international joint conference on Autonomous agents and multiagent systemsWe propose an enhanced mechanism for selecting partners for multi-attribute negotiation. The mechanism employs possibilistic case-based reasoning. The possibility of successful negotiation for each potential partner is predicted on the basis of its ...
