An Agent Design for Effective Negotiation Dialogues
نویسنده
چکیده
A design is presented for a negotiating agent that can construct coherent joint plans with human or artificial agents. In negotiation there is always a trade-off between plan quality and dialogue length. In dynamic conditions and with human partners, length becomes critical. The approach to efficient negotiation is to use an acquaintance model that predicts which plans will be acceptable. The negotiation dialogue then consists of exchanges to construct the acquaintance model and exchanges of plan proposals.
