A Classification Scheme for Negotiation in Electronic Commerce
TLDR
This paper identifies the main parameters on which any automated negotiation depends and uses a classification framework to categorise a representative sample of some of the most prominent negotiation models that exist in the literature.Abstract:
In the last few years we have witnessed a surge of business-to-consumer and business-to-business commerce operated on the Internet. However many of these systems are often nothing more than electronic catalogues on which the user can choose a product which is made available for a fixed price. This modus operandi is clearly failing to exploit the full potential of electronic commerce. Against this background, we argue here that in the next few years we will see a new generation of systems emerge, based on automatic negotiation. In this paper we identify the main parameters on which any automatic negotiation depends. This classification schema is then used to categorise the subsequent papers in this book that focus on automatic negotiation.read more

A Model for Organizational Interaction: based on Agents, founded in Logic
TL;DR: The modelo OperA as mentioned in this paper distingue entre the conceito de agente and the papel representado by the agente in an organization, and is used to describe the relationship between the agent and the organization.

An agenda-based framework for multi-issue negotiation
TL;DR: This paper presents a new model for multi-issue negotiation under time constraints in an incomplete information setting and shows the existence of equilibrium even when both players have uncertain information about each other, and each agent's information is its private knowledge.

Declarative Agent Languages and Technologies IV
TL;DR: The contribution of this paper is to present a tableau method that automatically decides whether a formula of the logic of acceptance is satisfiable thereby providing an automated reasoning procedure for judgement aggregation in the Logic of acceptance.

Towards a Structured Design of Electronic Negotiations
TL;DR: This paper presents an example of an integration of three significant streams of theoretical and applied research involving negotiations, traditional auctions and on-line auctions and provides a rationale for the engineering approach that allows pragmatic adoption of economic and social sciences perspectives on negotiated decisions.

Intelligent Agents: Theory and Practice
TL;DR: Agent theory is concerned with the question of what an agent is, and the use of mathematical formalisms for representing and reasoning about the properties of agents as discussed by the authors ; agent architectures can be thought of as software engineering models of agents; and agent languages are software systems for programming and experimenting with agents.
