An expressive approach to fuzzy constraint based agent purchase negotiation
Miguel A. López-Carmona, Juan R. Velasco · 2006
This paper presents a fuzzy constraint based model for bilateral multi-attribute agent purchase negotiations in competitive trading environments. Argumentation is used as a key mechanism to improve agreements, in contrast to other fuzzy constraint based models which are limited to quantitative offers and counter-offers. A set of locutions and decision mechanisms which fire them are specified, so that each agent may decide its degree of cooperation and expressiveness.
