Ahmed Elfatatry, Paul J. Layzell · Software Practice and Experience · 2004
Abstract As the software industry shifts towards a service‐oriented model of development and delivery, complex forms of interaction, such as negotiation, will become dominant. The design of a negotiation system in the context of an open service‐oriented model is a complex task and involves many interrelated issues. This paper presents a negotiation description language; the purpose of which is to provide a high‐level description of a negotiation situation in such a way that facilitates human reasoning about negotiation‐related aspects in a service‐oriented context.
