Using two main arguments in agent negotiation

Abstract

During agent negotiation, argumentation-based negotiation of agent has been widely studied for it can make agent who received the argument change its goals or preferences accordingly. Being the two main arguments, threat and reward can even make the negotiators reduce their behavior space to find a well compromise quickly in the end, which can make them accomplish their cooperation on the base of getting the most profit of each of them. This paper presents a type of formal models of threat and reward first, and then present a new way of how to calculate the negotiation strengths of them through simulated calculations based on the models to make the negotiators threatened or rewarded make a right choice and accomplish their cooperation well. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2006.
