Axiomatic Analysis of Negotiation Protocols
نویسندگان
چکیده
Negotiation protocols are rules under which a negotiation proceeds. This paper introduces a logic approach to negotiation protocol analysis. We consider a negotiation procedure as multiple stages of mutual belief revision. A set of postulates in AGM-style of belief revision are proposed to specify rational behavior of negotiation. An explicit construction of negotiation function is given in which negotiation process is viewed as the interaction of two iterated revision operations. As a result the proposed axiomatic system is proved to be consistent. Finally, we examine our approach with an instantiation of Rosenschein and Zlotkin’s Monotonic Concession Protocol of Negotiation.

متن کاملAxiomatic Characterization of Task Oriented Negotiation
This paper presents an axiomatic analysis of negotiation problems within task-oriented domains (TOD). We start by applying three classical bargaining solutions of Nash, Kalai-Smorodinsky and Egalitarian to the domains of problems with a preprocess of randomization on possible agreements. We find out that these three solutions coincide within any TOD and can be characterized by the same set of a...
متن کاملExploring Novice Raters’ Textual Considerations in Independent and Negotiated Ratings
Educators often employ various training techniques to reduce raters’ subjectivity. Negotiation is a technique which can assist novice raters to co-construct a shared understanding of the writing assessment when rating collaboratively. There is little research, however, on rating behaviors of novice raters while employing negotiation techniques and the effect of negotiation on their understandin...
متن کاملBargaining and Destructive Power
The theory of bargaining as formulated by Nash (1950, 1953) has developed along two routes. One is axiomatic (e.g., Nash 1950; Kalai and Smorodinsky 1975; Roemer 1988). Here, the negotiation process underlying the bargaining is only implicit. The idea is to try to characterize the negotiated outcome (the solution) through a set of axioms without formally modeling the process. The advantages of ...
متن کاملTowards Modeling and Simulating a Multi-party Negotiation Protocol with Colored Petri Nets
E-contracting, i.e., establishing and enacting electronic contracts, has become important because of technological advances (e.g., the availability of web services) and more open markets. However, the establishment of an e-contract is complicated and error prone. There are multiple negotiation styles ranging from auctions to bilateral bargaining. This paper provides an approach for modeling mul...
