A Software Platform for Multiprotocol E-Negotiations
نویسندگان
چکیده
A flexible and highly customizable software platform to conduct research on e-negotiation is presented. The software platform enables negotiators to map negotiation activities to system components and construct their own protocols by creating a sequence of layout programs invoking components and rules. The system design is discussed and selected implementation details are presented to give an overview of the approach taken. 1 This research was funded by grants from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council Canada and Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council Canada. The authors are grateful to Nematollaah Shiri for his comments and suggestions.
