....focus on scenarios where the negotiation issues are shared by all negotiators. On the other hand, the DINE shell allows the incorporation of these ideas and techniques for supporting the independent peer to peer negotiations [Gupta 1989] Jarke,Jelassi,Shakun 1987] Jelassi,Foroughi 1989] [Matwin, Szpakowicz, Koperczak, Kersten, Michalowski 1989]. 3. ENTITIES AND THEIR REPRESENTATIONS Appropriate representations have an increased importance during synchronous negotiations, since the partners must be able to quickly digest and react to new information. One of the principles in DINE is that a set of entities of the same type can either ....

....its own goals. We do not assume any common knowledge or goal, nor any immediate will to cooperate. On the contrary, we assume that the agents are self motivated and that cooperation should be pursued and achieved via negotiation and argumentation. Negoplan by Matwin, Szpakowicz and Koperczak [97] is a decision support system for conducting negotiation. Through simulating both parts of the negotiation process, its main task is to give one party of the negotiation an advantage. Its main model presents the current situation of the negotiation and by using a Goal Representation Tree (GRT) it ....

....configurations of distributed problem solving. It consists of a number of different expert systems (ESs) connected by computer networks. In a DES, each expert system (ES) can either work individually to solve some specific problems, or cooperate with the others to deal with complex problems [7, 3, 4]. If more than one ES solves the same task, each ES could obtain a solution. It is thus important to synthesize such multiple solutions to the same task (called inputs) from different ESs in order to obtain the desired final solution (called outputs) to the task. Let us look at an example. Two ....

A number of systems support humans in constructing or following argumentation in order to reach decisions: a variety of medical decision support systems based on Krause s (Krause et al. 1995) LA are discussed in (Fox and Das, 1996) and similarly, the Negoplan system of (Matwin et al. 1989) supports human negotiation using an expert system to represent the structure of the arguments.

In particular, there have been attempts to integrate argumentation frameworks with the world wide web ....

.... in negotiation support systems (NSS) are addressing interactions in the context of advising a human negotiator or supporting humans gathered around a negotiation table[ 116] 148] Research ranges from developing a NSS shell aimed at supporting the construction of negotiation systems[127][164], to specialized domain support such as airline buyout[243] product marketing [210] or electronic marketplace[281] Some negotiation support systems have the intelligent reasoning features of artificial intelligence. Negotiation support systems often focus on human aspects of negotiation ....

Another ....

Another implementation approach encodes structure oriented resolution knowledge into a domain dependent rule based system[33][40]. Finally, a theory based, rather than domain based, approach overcomes problems attributed to the narrow expertise of these systems[7] Negotiation theory based transformations apply across application domains and still apply when faced with new, unforeseen circumstances. The approach to ....

....few prescriptions for how conflict resolution can be facilitated. In addition, much of this work focuses on issues specific to the psychology of human participants, rather than on the general nature of conflict resolution. There is in addition some work on supporting human conflict resolution [21, 40, 37, 43, 5, 19, 30, 4, 13, 34, 41, 48]. This includes research on group consensus building and group decision support systems, or GDSSs. This work focuses, however, on competitive conflicts and or limits itself to structuring interactions among group members, rather than applying conflict resolution expertise to help resolve the ....

....Traditionally, game theory has been used for negotiation strategy design. It provides analytic techniques for modeling competitors and defining actions contingent on competitor actions. More recently, this technique has been adapted to defining software agent negotiation protocols and strategies[18][26] In the third phase of the life cycle, negotiation implementation seeks to reach group commitment through a series of communicative exchanges. Groupware provides the infrastructure for human communication, while agentware such as the KIF protocols provide a framework for agent ....

....we make almost no assumptions about the protocol the agents use for negotiations. Also, our model takes the passage of time during the negotiation process itself into consideration, which in turn influences the outcome of the negotiations and avoids delays in reaching an agreement. Matwin et al. [42] developed an expert system shell called Negoplan to support single party participants in a negotiation. Negoplan simulates the changes in the positions of the parties during the negotiation, based on their anticipated behavior. Their method does not simulate the entire process of negotiation ....
