Electronic Negotiation Systems: The Invite Prototype
نویسندگان
چکیده
Electronic negotiation systems support negotiators in reaching an agreement through collaboration among the involved parties. The development of these systems requires the use of a negotiation methodology and the specification of a negotiation protocol. This contribution presents the foundation of a negotiation methodology and a prototype built upon the methodology which is capable of executing multiple negotiation protocols. The prototype demonstrates the feasibility of the proposed approach, and is currently evaluated in a computer based laboratory experiment. * This research is supported by grants from the Initiative for New Economy of the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council Canada, and the Natural Science and Engineering Research Council Canada. http: / / interneg.org/
