Abstract

A mental state model for autonomous agent negotiation in is described. In this model, agent negotiation is assumed to be a function of the agents' mental state (attitude) and their prior experiences. The mental state model we describe here subsumes both competitive and cooperative agent negotiations. The model is first instantiated by buying and selling agents (competitively) negotiating in a virtual marketplace. Subsequently, it is shown that agent negotiations tend to be more cooperative than competitive as agents tend to agree (more so than disagree) on attributes of their mental state.
