Qian Zhang · Journal of Southwest University · 2008

A fuzzy constraint-based bi-lateral multi-issue negotiation model for trade negotiation in retail electronic market is developed and presented in this paper.In this model,the negotiators' requirements and preferences are expressed by fuzzy constraints,and they adopt the idea of PFCSP(Prioritized Fuzzy Constraints Satisfaction Problem)to evaluate the proposals from their opponents or make counter-proposals themselves.The formal definitions of both buyer agent and seller agent are put forward,the protocols of their behaviors are illuminated,and varieties of negotiation strategies are designed and compared through experiments.
