        abstract = {The design of automated negotiators has been the focus of abundant research in recent years. However, due to difficulties involved in creating generalized agents that can negotiate in several domains and against human counterparts, many automated negotiators are domain specific and their behavior cannot be generalized for other domains. Some of these difficulties arise from the differences inherent within the domains, the need to understand and learn negotiators{\textquoteright} diverse preferences concerning issues of the domain, and the different strategies negotiators can undertake. In this paper we present a system that enables alleviation of the difficulties in the design process of general automated negotiators termed Genius, a General Environment for Negotiation with Intelligent multi-purpose Usage Simulation. With the constant introduction of new domains, e-commerce and other applications, which require automated negotiations, generic automated negotiators encompass many benefits and advantages over agents that are designed for a specific domain. Based on experiments conducted with automated agents designed by human subjects using Genius we provide both quantitative and qualitative results to illustrate its efficacy. Finally, we also analyze a recent automated bilateral negotiators competition that was based on Genius. Our results show the advantages and underlying benefits of using Genius and how it can facilitate the design of general automated negotiators.},

In SAOP, agents can make a bid, accept the most recent bid or walk way (i.e., end the negotiation without an agreement) when it is their turn. AMOP has two different phases: bidding and voting. The agents make their bid in the bidding phase and vote the underlying bids in the voting phase. Unlike SAOP, AMOP does not support walking away option. In both protocols, negotiation ends when the negotiating agents reach a joint agreement or some deadline criterion applies. The protocols have been evaluated empirically, showing that SAOP outper- forms AMOP with the same type of conceder agents in a time-based deadline setting. SAOP was used in the ANAC 2015 competition for automated negotiating agents.},

abstract = "In recommender systems, human preferences are identified by a number of individual components with complicated interactions and properties. Recently, the dynamicity of preferences has been the focus of several studies. The changes in user preferences can originate from substantial reasons, like personality shift, or transient and circumstantial ones, like seasonal changes in item popularities. Disregarding these temporal drifts in modelling user preferences can result in unhelpful recommendations. Moreover, different temporal patterns can be associated with various preference domains, and preference components and their combinations. These components comprise preferences over features, preferences over feature values, conditional dependencies between features, socially-influenced preferences, and bias. For example, in the movies domain, the user can change his rating behaviour (bias shift), her preference for genre over language (feature preference shift), or start favouring drama over comedy (feature value preference shift). In this paper, we first propose a novel latent factor model to capture the domain-dependent component-specific temporal patterns in preferences. The component-based approach followed in modelling the aspects of preferences and their temporal effects enables us to arbitrarily switch components on and off. We evaluate the proposed method on three popular recommendation datasets and show that it significantly outperforms the most accurate state-of-the-art static models. The experiments also demonstrate the greater robustness and stability of the proposed dynamic model in comparison with the most successful models to date. We also analyse the temporal behaviour of different preference components and their combinations and show that the dynamic behaviour of preference components is highly dependent on the preference dataset and domain. Therefore, the results also highlight the importance of modelling temporal effects but also underline the advantages of a component-based architecture that is better suited to capture domain-specific balances in the contributions of the aspects.",

abstract={This paper presents an automated peer-to-peer (P2P) negotiation strategy for settling energy contracts among prosumers in a Residential Energy Cooperative (REC) considering heterogeneous prosumer preferences. The heterogeneity arises from prosumers' evaluation of energy contracts through multiple societal and environmental criteria and the prosumers' private preferences over those criteria. The prosumers engage in bilateral negotiations with peers to mutually agree on periodical energy contracts/loans that consist of an energy volume to be exchanged at that period and the return time of the exchanged energy. The prosumers keep an ordered preference profile of possible energy contracts by evaluating the contracts from their own valuations on the entailed criteria, and iteratively offer the peers contracts until an agreement is formed. A prosumer embeds the valuations into a utility function that further considers uncertainties imposed by demand and generation profiles. Empirical evaluation on real demand, generation and storage profiles illustrates that the proposed negotiation based strategy is able to increase the system efficiency (measured by utilitarian social welfare) and fairness (measured by Nash social welfare) over a baseline strategy and an individual flexibility control strategy. We thus elicit system benefits from P2P flexibility exchange already with few agents and without central coordination, providing a simple yet flexible and effective paradigm that may complement existing markets.},

The optimal deployment of different resources, such as local renewable energy production (RES), diesel generators (DG) and energy storage systems (ESS) may bring about significant financial gain for the organizer, and is usually framed as an off-grid or limited grid-connection problem. This makes online planning particularly challenging due to the uncertainty related to the RES production, constraints regarding the operation of the diesel generators and limitations of the grid connection. In this paper a new online planning algorithm based on two-stage stochastic programming is proposed in order to address the aforementioned challenges and provide minimal-cost, uninterrupted, and sustainable electrification of festivals under dynamically priced grid energy. Data based on real festival events are used in order to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed methodology.},

abstract="In this article, we introduce a new paradigm to achieve Pareto optimality in group decision-making processes: bottom-up approaches to Pareto optimality. It is based on the idea that, while resolving a conflict in a group, individuals may trust some members more than others; thus, they may be willing to cooperate and share more information with those members. Therefore, one can divide the group into subgroups where more cooperative mechanisms can be formed to reach Pareto optimal outcomes. This is the first work that studies such use of a bottom-up approach to achieve Pareto optimality in conflict resolution in groups. First, we prove that an outcome that is Pareto optimal for subgroups is also Pareto optimal for the group as a whole. Then, we empirically analyze the appropriate conditions and achievable performance when applying bottom-up approaches under a wide variety of scenarios based on real-life datasets. The results show that bottom-up approaches are a viable mechanism to achieve Pareto optimality with applications to group decision-making, negotiation teams, and decision making in open environments.",

abstract = {Classically, disciplines like negotiation and decision making have focused on reaching Pareto optimal solutions due to its stability and efficiency properties. Despite the fact that many practical and theoretical algorithms have successfully attempted to provide Pareto optimal solutions, they have focused on attempting to reach Pareto Optimality using horizontal approaches, where optimality is calculated taking into account every participant at the same time. Sometimes, this may prove to be a difficult task (e.g., conflict, mistrust, no information sharing, etc.). In this paper, we explore the possibility of achieving Pareto Optimal outcomes in a group by using a bottom-up approach: discovering Pareto optimal outcomes by interacting in subgroups. We analytically show that the set of Pareto optimal outcomes in a group covers the Pareto optimal outcomes within its subgroups. This theoretical finding can be applied in a variety of scenarios such as negotiation teams, multi-party negotiation, and team formation to social recommendation. Additionally, we empirically test the validity and practicality of this proof in a variety of decision making domains and analyze the usability of this proof in practical situations.},

  abstract  = {The digital economy is based on data sharing yet citizens have little control about how their personal data is being used. While data management during web and app-based use is already a challenge, as the Internet of Things (IoT) scales up, the number of devices accessing and requiring personal data will go beyond what a person can manually assess in terms of data access requests. Therefore, new approaches are needed for managing privacy preferences at scale and providing active consent around data sharing that can improve fidelity of operation in alignment with user intent. To address this challenge, we introduce a novel agent-based approach to negotiate the permission to exchange private data between users and services. Our agent negotiates based on learned  preferences from actual users. To evaluate our agent-based approach, we developed an experimental tool to run on people's own smartphones, where users were asked to share their private, real data (e.g. photos, contacts, etc) under various conditions. The agent autonomously negotiates potential agreements for the user, which they can refine by manually continuing the negotiation. The agent learns from these interactions and updates the user model in subsequent interactions. We find that the agent is able to effectively capture the preferences and negotiate on the user's behalf but, surprisingly, does not reduce user engagement with the system. Understanding how interaction interplays with agent-based automation is a key component to successful deployment of negotiating agents in real-life settings and within the IoT context in particular.},

  abstract  = {Consider an agent that can autonomously negotiate and coordinate with others in our stead, to reach outcomes and agreements in our interest. Such automated negotiation agents are already common practice in areas such as high frequency trading, and are now finding applications in domains closer to home, which involve not only mere financial optimizations but balanced tradeoffs between multiple issues, such as cost and convenience. As a simple example, a smart thermostat controlling a heat pump could provide demand response to the electricity grid if the inconvenience is offset by the grid relieve incentives. In such situations, the agent represents a user with individual and a priori unknown preferences, which are costly to elicit due to the user bother this incurs. Therefore, the agent needs to strike a  balance between increasing the user model accuracy and the inconvenience caused by interacting with the user. To do so, we require a tractable metric for the value of information in an ensuing negotiation, which until now has not been available. In this paper, we propose a decision model that finds the point of diminishing returns for improving the model of user preferences with costly queries. We present a reasoning framework to derive this metric, and show a myopically optimal and tractable stopping criterion for querying the user before a fixed number of negotiation rounds. Our method provides an extensible basis for interactive negotiation agents to evaluate which questions are worth posing given the marginal utility expected to arise from more accurate beliefs.},

  abstract  = {A negotiation between agents is typically an incomplete information game, where the agents initially do not know their opponent's preferences or strategy. This poses a challenge, as efficient and effective negotiation requires the bidding agent to take the other's wishes and future behavior into account when deciding on a proposal. Therefore, in order to reach better and earlier agreements, an agent can apply learning techniques to construct a model of the opponent. There is a mature body of research in negotiation that focuses on modeling the opponent, but there exists no recent survey of commonly used opponent modeling techniques. This work aims to advance and integrate knowledge of the field by providing a comprehensive survey of currently existing opponent models in a bilateral negotiation setting. We discuss all possible ways opponent modeling has been used to benefit agents so far, and we introduce a taxonomy of currently existing opponent models based on their underlying learning techniques. We also present techniques to measure the success of opponent models and provide guidelines for deciding on the appropriate performance measures for every opponent model type in our taxonomy.},

Using this framework, new and effective ways are formulated for an agent to learn, bid, and accept during a negotiation. The findings have been evaluated in four annual instantiations of the International Automated Negotiating Agents Competition (ANAC), the results of which are also outlined here. The book also describes several methodologies for evaluating and comparing negotiation strategies and components, with a special emphasis on performance and accuracy measures.},

An important challenge within this problem is how to elicit the the user preferences with low intrusiveness, in order to identify new schedules with high cost savings, that still lies within the user's comfort zone. To tackle this problem we propose iDR, an interactive system for generating personalised appliance usage scheduling recommendations that maximise savings and convenience with minimal intrusiveness. In particular, our system learns when to stop interacting with the user during the preference elicitation process, in order to keep the bother cost (e.g., the amount of time the user spends, or the cognitive cost of interacting) minimal. We demonstrate through extensive empirical evaluation on real-world data that our approach improves savings by up to 35\%, while maintaining a significantly lower bother cost, compared to state-of the-art benchmarks.},

In this paper, we present the preliminary results of a study that explores what happens when permission settings are more discretional at install time. We present the results of a pilot experiment, in which we ask users to negotiate which data they are happy to share, and we show that this results in higher user satisfaction than the typical take-it-or-leave-it setting. Our preliminary findings suggest negotiating consent is a powerful interaction mechanism that engages users and can enable them to strike a balance between privacy and pricing concerns.},

Traditionally, negotiation is a necessary, but time-consuming and expensive activity.  Therefore, in the last two decades, there has been a growing interest in the automation of negotiation. One of the key challenges for a successful negotiation is that usually only limited information is available about the opponent.  Although sharing private information can result in mutual gains, negotiators often avoid this to prevent exploitation.  This problem can be partially overcome by deriving information from the opponent's actions. Exploiting this information to learn aspects of the opponent is called opponent modeling. Creating an accurate opponent model is a key factor in improving the quality of the outcome and can further increase the benefits of automated negotiation. Despite the advantages of opponent modeling and two decades of research, there is no recent study that provides an overview of the field. Therefore, in order to stimulate the development of efficient future opponent models, and to outline a research agenda, we provide an overview of existing opponent models in bilateral negotiation. As our main contributions, we classify opponent models using a comprehensive taxonomy and provide recommendations on how to select the best model depending on the negotiation setting.},

However, so far, there is no fundamental approach on how much to concede at every stage of the negotiation in such time-sensitive domains. We introduce an efficient solution based on simultaneous search, which is able to select the optimal sequence of offers that maximizes expected payoff, given the agent's beliefs about the opponent.

This interest is fueled by the promise of automated agents eventually being able to negotiate on behalf of human negotiators. Every year, automated negotiation agents are improving in various ways, and there is now a large body of negotiation strategies available, all with their unique strengths and weaknesses. For example, some agents are able to predict the opponent's preferences very well, while others focus more on having a sophisticated bidding strategy. The problem however, is that there is little incremental improvement in agent design, as the agents are tested in varying negotiation settings, using a diverse set of performance measures. This makes it very difficult to meaningfully compare the agents, let alone their underlying techniques. As a result, we lack a reliable way to pinpoint the most effective components in a negotiating agent. There are two major advantages of distinguishing between the different components of a negotiating agent's strategy: first, it allows the study of the behavior and performance of the components in isolation. For example, it becomes possible to compare the preference learning component of all agents, and to identify the best among them. Second, we can proceed to mix and match different components to create new negotiation strategies., e.g.: replacing the preference learning technique of an agent and then examining whether this makes a difference. Such a procedure enables us to combine the individual components to systematically explore the space of possible negotiation strategies. To develop a compositional approach to evaluate and combine the components, we identify structure in most agent designs by introducing the BOA architecture, in which we can develop and integrate the different components of a negotiating agent. We identify three main components of a general negotiation strategy; namely a bidding strategy (B), possibly an opponent model (O), and an acceptance strategy (A). The bidding strategy considers what concessions it deems appropriate given its own preferences, and takes the opponent into account by using an opponent model. The acceptance strategy decides whether offers proposed by the opponent should be accepted. The BOA architecture is integrated into a generic negotiation environment called Genius, which is a software environment for designing and evaluating negotiation strategies. To explore the negotiation strategy space of the negotiation research community, we amend the Genius repository with various existing agents and scenarios from literature. Additionally, we organize a yearly international negotiation competition (ANAC) to harvest even more strategies and scenarios. ANAC also acts as an evaluation tool for negotiation strategies, and encourages the design of negotiation strategies and scenarios. We re-implement agents from literature and ANAC and decouple them to fit into the BOA architecture without introducing any changes in their behavior. For each of the three components, we manage to find and analyze the best ones for specific cases, as described below. We show that the BOA framework leads to significant improvements in agent design by wining ANAC 2013, which had 19 participating teams from 8 international institutions, with an agent that is designed using the BOA framework and is informed by a preliminary analysis of the different components. In every negotiation, one of the negotiating parties must accept an offer to reach an agreement. Therefore, it is important that a negotiator employs a proficient mechanism to decide under which conditions to accept. When contemplating whether to accept an offer, the agent is faced with the acceptance dilemma: accepting the offer may be suboptimal, as better offers may still be presented before time runs out. On the other hand, accepting too late may prevent an agreement from being reached, resulting in a break off with no gain for either party. We classify and compare state-of-the-art generic acceptance conditions. We propose new acceptance strategies and we demonstrate that they outperform the other conditions. We also provide insight into why some conditions work better than others and investigate correlations between the properties of the negotiation scenario and the efficacy of acceptance conditions. Later, we adopt a more principled approach by applying optimal stopping theory to calculate the optimal decision on the acceptance of an offer. We approach the decision of whether to accept as a sequential decision problem, by modeling the bids received as a stochastic process. We determine the optimal acceptance policies for particular opponent classes and we present an approach to estimate the expected range of offers when the type of opponent is unknown. We show that the proposed approach is able to find the optimal time to accept, and improves upon all existing acceptance strategies. Another principal component of a negotiating agent's strategy is its ability to take the opponent's preferences into account. The quality of an opponent model can be measured in two different ways. One is to use the agent's performance as a benchmark for the model's quality. We evaluate and compare the performance of a selection of state-of-the-art opponent modeling techniques in negotiation. We provide an overview of the factors influencing the quality of a model and we analyze how the performance of opponent models depends on the negotiation setting. We identify a class of simple and surprisingly effective opponent modeling techniques that did not receive much previous attention in literature. The other way to measure the quality of an opponent model is to directly evaluate its accuracy by using similarity measures. We review all methods to measure the accuracy of an opponent model and we then analyze how changes in accuracy translate into performance differences. Moreover, we pinpoint the best predictors for good performance. This leads to new insights concerning how to construct an opponent model, and what we need to measure when optimizing performance. Finally, we take two different approaches to gain more insight into effective bidding strategies. We present a new classification method for negotiation strategies, based on their pattern of concession making against different kinds of opponents. We apply this technique to classify some well-known negotiating strategies, and we formulate guidelines on how agents should bid in order to be successful, which gives insight into the bidding strategy space of negotiating agents. Furthermore, we apply optimal stopping theory again, this time to find the concessions that maximize utility for the bidder against particular opponents. We show there is an interesting connection between optimal bidding and optimal acceptance strategies, in the sense that they are mirrored versions of each other. Lastly, after analyzing all components separately, we put the pieces back together again. We take all BOA components accumulated so far, including the best ones, and combine them all together to explore the space of negotiation strategies. We compute the contribution of each component to the overall negotiation result, and we study the interaction between components. We find that combining the best agent components indeed makes the strongest agents. This shows that the component-based view of the BOA architecture not only provides a useful basis for developing negotiating agents but also provides a useful analytical tool. By varying the BOA components we are able to demonstrate the contribution of each component to the negotiation result, and thus analyze the significance of each. The bidding strategy is by far the most important to consider, followed by the acceptance conditions and finally followed by the opponent model. Our results validate the analytical approach of the BOA framework to first optimize the individual components, and then to recombine them into a negotiating agent.}

  abstract  = {The design of automated negotiators has been the focus of abundant
        research in recent years. However, due to difficulties involved in
        creating generalized agents that can negotiate in several domains
        and against human counterparts, many automated negotiators are domain
        specific and their behavior cannot be generalized for other domains.
        Some of these difficulties arise from the differences inherent within
        the domains, the need to understand and learn negotiators' diverse
        preferences concerning issues of the domain, and the different strategies
        negotiators can undertake. In this paper we present a system that
        enables alleviation of the difficulties in the design process of
        general automated negotiators termed Genius, a General Environment
        for Negotiation with Intelligent multi-purpose Usage Simulation.
        With the constant introduction of new domains, e-commerce and other
        applications, which require automated negotiations, generic automated
        negotiators encompass many benefits and advantages over agents that
        are designed for a specific domain. Based on experiments conducted
        with automated agents designed by human subjects using Genius we
        provide both quantitative and qualitative results to illustrate its
        efficacy. Finally, we also analyze a recent automated bilateral negotiators
        competition that was based on Genius. Our results show the advantages
        and underlying benefits of using Genius and how it can facilitate
        the design of general automated negotiators.},

        options involve an inherent risk: continuing the negotiation carries
        the risk of forgoing a possibly optimal offer, whereas accepting
        runs the risk of missing out on an even better future offer. We approach
        the decision of whether to accept as a sequential decision problem,

        this is a natural choice in the context of a negotiation with incomplete

Therefore, negotiators normally make larger concessions as the deadline is closing in. Many time-based concession strategies have already been proposed, but they are typically heuristic in nature, and therefore, it is still unclear what is the right way to concede toward the opponent. Our aim is to construct optimal concession strategies against specific classes of acceptance strategies. We apply sequential decision techniques to find analytical solutions that optimize the expected utility of the bidder, given certain strategy sets of the opponent. Our solutions turn out to significantly outperform current state of the art approaches in terms of obtained utility. Our results open the way for a new and general concession strategy that can be combined with various existing learning and accepting techniques to yield a fully-fledged negotiation strategy for the alternating offers setting.},

  abstract = {Automating negotiations in markets where multiple buyers and sellers
        operate is a scientific challenge of extraordinary importance. One-to-one
        negotiations are classically studied as bilateral bargaining problems,
        while one-to-many and many-to-many negotiations are studied as auctioning
        problems. This paper aims at bridging together these two approaches,
        analyzing agents' strategic behavior in one-to-many and many-to-many
        negotiations when agents follow the alternating-offers bargaining
        protocol [5]. First, we propose a novel mechanism that captures the
        peculiarities of these settings. Then, we preliminarily explore how
        uncertainty over reserve prices and deadlines can affect equilibrium
        strategies. Surprisingly, the computation of the equilibrium for
        realistic ranges of the parameters in one-to-many settings is reduced
        to the computation of the equilibrium either in one-to-one settings
        with uncertainty or in one-to-many settings without uncertainty.},

However, their use in automated negotiation is not straightforward because, typically, preferences in CP-nets are partially ordered and negotiating agents are required to compare any two outcomes based on a request and an offer in order to negotiate effectively. If agents know how to generate total orders from their CP-nets, they can make this comparison. This paper proposes heuristics that enable the use of CP-nets in utility-based negotiations by generating total orderings. To validate this approach, the paper compares the performance of CP-nets with our heuristics with the performance of UCP-nets that are equipped with complete preference orderings. Our results show that we can achieve comparable performance in terms of the outcome utility. More importantly, one of our proposed heuristics can achieve this performance with significantly smaller number of interactions compared to UCP-nets.}

  abstract = {We consider automated negotiation as a process carried out by software
        agents to reach a consensus. To automate negotiation, we expect agents
        to understand their user's preferences, generate offers that will
        satisfy their user, and decide whether counter offers are satisfactory.
        For this purpose, a crucial aspect is the treatment of preferences.
        An agent not only needs to understand its own user's preferences,
        but also its opponent's preferences so that agreements can be reached.
        Accordingly, this paper proposes a learning algorithm that can be
        used by a producer during negotiation to understand consumer's needs
        and to offer services that respect consumer's preferences. Our proposed
        algorithm is based on inductive learning but also incorporates the
        idea of revision. Thus, as the negotiation proceeds, a producer can
        revise its idea of the consumer's preferences. The learning is enhanced
        with the use of ontologies so that similar service requests can be
        identified and treated similarly. Further, the algorithm is targeted
        to learning both conjunctive as well as disjunctive preferences.
        Hence, even if the consumer's preferences are specified in complex
        ways, our algorithm can learn and guide the producer to create well-targeted
        offers. Further, our algorithm can detect whether some preferences
        cannot be satisfied early and thus consensus cannot be reached. Our
        experimental results show that the producer using our learning algorithm
        negotiates faster and more successfully with customers compared to
        several other algorithms.},

Despite their diversity, there is a common structure to their design. A negotiation agent comprises three key components: the bidding strategy, the opponent model and the acceptance criteria. We show that this three-component view of a negotiating architecture not only provides a useful basis for developing such agents but also provides a useful analytical tool. By combining these components in varying ways, we are able to demonstrate the contribution of each component to the overall negotiation result, and thus determine the key contributing components. Moreover, we are able to study the interaction between components and present detailed interaction effects. Furthermore, we find that the bidding strategy in particular is of critical importance to the negotiator's success and far exceeds the importance of opponent preference modeling techniques. Our results contribute to the shaping of a research agenda for negotiating agent design by providing guidelines on how agent developers can spend their time most effectively.},

  abstract = {When a negotiating agent is presented with an offer by its opponent,
        it is faced with a decision: it can accept the offer that is currently
        on the table, or it can reject it and continue the negotiation. Both
        options involve an inherent risk: continuing the negotiation carries
        the risk of forgoing a possibly optimal offer, whereas accepting
        runs the risk of missing out on an even better future offer. We approach
        the decision of whether to accept as a sequential decision problem,
        by modeling the bids received as a stochastic process. We argue that
        this is a natural choice in the context of a negotiation with incomplete
        information, where the future behavior of the opponent is uncertain.
        We determine the optimal acceptance policies for particular opponent
        classes and we present an approach to estimate the expected range
        of offers when the type of opponent is unknown. We apply our method
        against a wide range of opponents, and compare its performance with
        acceptance mechanisms of state-of-the-art negotiation strategies.
        The experiments show that the proposed approach is able to find the
        optimal time to accept, and improves upon widely used existing acceptance
        mechanisms.},

Our main goal in this work is to evaluate and compare the performance of a selection of state-of-the-art online opponent modeling techniques in negotiation, and to determine under which circumstances they are beneficial in a real-time, online negotiation setting. Towards this end, we provide an overview of the factors influencing the quality of a model and we analyze how the performance of opponent models depends on the negotiation setting. This results in better insight into the performance of opponent models, and allows us to pinpoint well-performing opponent modeling techniques that did not receive much previous attention in literature.},

  abstract  = {When two agents settle a mutual concern by negotiating with each other,they usually do not share their preferences so as to avoid exploitation. In such a setting, the agents may need to analyze each other's behavior to make an estimation of the opponent's preferences. This process of opponent modeling makes it possible to find a satisfying negotiation outcome for both parties. A large number of such opponent modeling techniques have already been introduced, together with different measures to assess their quality. The quality of an opponent model can be measured in two different ways: one is to use the agent's performance as a benchmark for the model's quality, the other is to directly evaluate its accuracy by using similarity measures. Both methods have been used extensively, and both have their distinct advantages and drawbacks. In this work we investigate the exact relation between the two, and we pinpoint the measures for accuracy that best predict performance gain. This leads us to new insights in how to construct an opponent model, and what we need to measure when optimizing performance.},

  abstract    = {In every negotiation with a deadline, one of the negotiating parties
        has to accept an offer to avoid a break off. A break off is usually
        an undesirable outcome for both parties, therefore it is important
        that a negotiator employs a proficient mechanism to decide under
        which conditions to accept. When designing such conditions one is
        faced with the acceptance dilemma: accepting the current offer may
        be suboptimal, as better offers may still be presented. On the other
        hand, accepting too late may prevent an agreement from being reached,
        resulting in a break off with no gain for either party. Motivated
        by the challenges of bilateral negotiations between automated agents
        and by the results and insights of the automated negotiating agents
        competition (ANAC), we classify and compare state-of-the-art generic
        acceptance conditions. We focus on decoupled acceptance conditions,
        i.e. conditions that do not depend on the bidding strategy that is
        used. We performed extensive experiments to compare the performance
        of acceptance conditions in combination with a broad range of bidding
        strategies and negotiation domains. Furthermore we propose new acceptance
        conditions and we demonstrate that they outperform the other conditions
        that we study. In particular, it is shown that they outperform the
        standard acceptance condition of comparing the current offer with
        the offer the agent is ready to send out. We also provide insight
        in to why some conditions work better than others and investigate
        correlations between the properties of the negotiation environment
        and the efficacy of acceptance conditions.},

  abstract  = {In order to successfully reach an agreement in a negotiation, both
        parties rely on each other to make concessions. The willingness to
        concede also depends in large part on the opponent. A concession
        by the opponent may be reciprocated, but the negotiation process
        may also be frustrated if the opponent does not concede at all. This
        process of concession making is a central theme in many of the classic
        and current automated negotiation strategies. In this paper, we present
        a quantitative classification method of negotiation strategies that
        measures the willingness of an agent to concede against different
        types of opponents. The method is then applied to classify some well-known
        negotiating strategies, including the agents of ANAC 2010. It is
        shown that the technique makes it easy to identify the main characteristics
        of negotiation agents, and can be used to group negotiation strategies
        into categories with common negotiation characteristics. We also
        observe, among other things, that different kinds of opponents call
        for a different approach in making concessions.},

abstract = {This volume brings together all of Ken Binmore's influential experimental papers on bargaining along with newly written commentary in which Binmore discusses the underlying game theory and addresses the criticism leveled at it by behavioral economists. When Binmore began his experimental work in the 1980s, conventional wisdom held that game theory would not work in the laboratory, but Binmore and other pioneers established that game theory can often predict the behavior of experienced players very well in favorable laboratory settings. The case of human bargaining behavior is particularly challenging for game theory. Everyone agrees that human behavior in real-life bargaining situations is governed at least partly by considerations of fairness, but what happens in a laboratory when such fairness considerations supposedly conflict with game-theoretic predictions? Behavioral economists, who emphasize the importance of other-regarding or social preferences, sometimes argue that their findings threaten traditional game theory. Binmore disputes both their interpretations of their findings and their claims about what game theorists think it reasonable to predict. Binmore's findings from two decades of game theory experiments have made a lasting contribution to economics. These papers--some coauthored with other leading economists, including Larry Samuelson, Avner Shaked, and John Sutton--show that game theory does indeed work in favorable laboratory environments, even in the challenging case of bargaining.},

  abstract = {This paper investigates the dynamics of deception and retribution
        in repeated ultimatum bargaining. Anonymous dyads exchanged messages
        and offers in a series of four ultimatum bargaining games that had
        prospects for relatively large monetary outcomes. Variations in each
        party's knowledge of the other's resources and alternatives created
        opportunities for deception. Revelation of prior unknowns exposed
        deceptions and created opportunities for retribution in subsequent
        interactions. Results showed that although proposers and responders
        chose deceptive strategies almost equally, proposers told more outright
        lies. Both were more deceptive when their private information was
        never revealed, and proposers were most deceptive when their potential
        profits were largest. Revelation of proposers' lies had little effect
        on their subsequent behavior even though responders rejected their
        offers more than similar offers from truthful proposers or proposers
        whose prior deceit was never revealed. The discussion and conclusions
        address the dynamics of deception and retribution in repeated bargaining
        interactions.},

        automated decision tools. We propose a graphical representation of
        preferences that reflects conditional dependence and independence
        of preference statements under a ceteris paribus (all else being
        equal) interpretation. Such a representation is often compact and
        arguably quite natural in many circumstances. We provide a formal
        semantics for this model, and describe how the structure of the network
        can be exploited in several inference tasks, such as determining
        whether one outcome dominates (is preferred to) another, ordering
        a set outcomes according to the preference relation, and constructing
        the best outcome subject to available evidence.},

        negotiation outcomes only when negotiators adopted an individualistic
        orientation; when negotiators adopted a cooperative orientation,
        they achieved high outcomes regardless of time pressure. In combination
        with an individualistic orientation, time pressure produced greater
        competitiveness, firm negotiator aspirations, and reduced information
        exchange. In combination with a cooperative orientation, time pressure
        produced greater cooperativeness and lower negotiator aspirations.
        The main findings were seen as consistent with Pruitt's strategic-choice

        under uncertainty. Under the bargaining rule proposed, the buyer
        and the seller each submit sealed offers that determine whether the
        good in question is sold and the transfer price. The Nash equilibrium
        solution of this bargaining game implies an offer strategy of each
        party that is monotonic in its own reservation price and depends
        on its assessment of the opponent's reservation price. Issues of
        relative bargaining advantage and efficiency are examined for a number
        of special cases. Finally, we discuss the appropriateness of the
        Nash solution concept.},

        important since the advent of e-marketplace. In this study, automated
        negotiation is viewed as a search process in which negotiators jointly
        search for a mutually acceptable contract in a multidimensional space
        formed by negotiable issues. This search is formulated as a multiple-objective
        decision making problem and is solved through an iterative process
        of generating offers by fuzzy inference systems. These fuzzy inference
        systems serve as a search heuristic and are formulated based on the
        strategy of issue trade-offs. Five experiments are conducted to evaluate
        the performance of the proposed automated negotiation algorithm.},

  abstract = {This paper presents the results of an empirical study to investigate
        the effects of a computerized \{NSS\} on the outcomes of face-to-face
        negotiations and on negotiator attitudes. In the study, pairs (dyads)
        of college students were involved in a simulated industrial bargaining
        scenario which tested the impact of computer support and conflict
        level on contract outcomes and negotiator attitudes. Three levels
        of computer support were compared: a comprehensive \{NSS\} (DSS component
        and an electronic communication component), \{DSS\} support only
        (no electronic communication component), and no computer support.
        The results showed that the \{DSS\} support was similar to the comprehensive
        \{NSS\} in improving the information processing aspects of the negotiation,
        such as joint outcomes, contract balance, and number of contract
        proposals. However, the comprehensive \{NSS\} had a wider spectrum
        of positive effects, impacting the socio-emotional aspects of the
        negotiation such as perceived satisfaction and negative climate as
        well as the information processing aspects. },

  abstract = {Automated negotiation is a key form of interaction in systems that
        are composed of multiple autonomous agents. The aim of such interactions
        is to reach agreements through an iterative process of making offers.
        The content of such proposals are, however, a function of the strategy
        of the agents. Here we present a strategy called the trade-off strategy
        where multiple negotiation decision variables are traded-off against
        one another (e.g., paying a higher price in order to obtain an earlier
        delivery date or waiting longer in order to obtain a higher quality
        service). Such a strategy is commonly known to increase the social
        welfare of agents. Yet, to date, most computational work in this
        area has ignored the issue of trade-offs, instead aiming to increase
        social welfare through mechanism design. The aim of this paper is
        to develop a heuristic computational model of the trade-off strategy
        and show that it can lead to an increased social welfare of the system.
        A novel linear algorithm is presented that enables software agents
        to make trade-offs for multi-dimensional goods for the problem of
        distributed resource allocation. Our algorithm is motivated by a
        number of real-world negotiation applications that we have developed
        and can operate in the presence of varying degrees of uncertainty.
        Moreover, we show that on average the total time used by the algorithm
        is linearly proportional to the number of negotiation issues under
        consideration. This formal analysis is complemented by an empirical
        evaluation that highlights the operational effectiveness of the algorithm
        in a range of negotiation scenarios. The algorithm itself operates
        by using the notion of fuzzy similarity to approximate the preference
        structure of the other negotiator and then uses a hill-climbing technique
        to explore the space of possible trade-offs for the one that is most
        likely to be acceptable. },

  abstract = {This paper studies bilateral multi-issue negotiation between self-interested
        autonomous agents. Now, there are a number of different procedures
        that can be used for this process; the three main ones being the
        package deal procedure in which all the issues are bundled and discussed
        together, the simultaneous procedure in which the issues are discussed
        simultaneously but independently of each other, and the sequential
        procedure in which the issues are discussed one after another. Since
        each of them yields a different outcome, a key problem is to decide
        which one to use in which circumstances. Specifically, we consider
        this question for a model in which the agents have time constraints
        ( in the form of both deadlines and discount factors) and information
        uncertainty ( in that the agents do not know the opponent's utility
        function). For this model, we consider issues that are both independent
        and those that are interdependent and determine equilibria for each
        case for each procedure. In so doing, we show that the package deal
        is in fact the optimal procedure for each party. We then go on to
        show that, although the package deal may be computationally more
        complex than the other two procedures, it generates Pareto optimal
        outcomes ( unlike the other two), it has similar earliest and latest
        possible times of agreement to the simultaneous procedure ( which
        is better than the sequential procedure), and that it ( like the
        other two procedures) generates a unique outcome only under certain
        conditions ( which we define).},

        in which issues are bargained over and agreements are reached is
        determined endogenously, as part of the bargaining equilibrium. In
        this context we determine the conditions under which agents have
        similar preferences over the implementation scheme and the conditions
        under which they have conflicting preferences. Our analysis shows
        the existence of equilibrium even when both players have uncertain
        information about each other, and each agent's information is its
        private knowledge. We also study the properties of the equilibrium
        solution and determine conditions under which it is unique, symmetric,

        they use. Although in most realistic situations it is not possible
        for agents to have complete information about each of these parameters

        about some of them. Under such uncertainty, our aim is to determine
        how an agent can exploit its available information to select an optimal
        strategy. Here, in particular, the optimal strategies are determined
        considering all possible ways in which time can effect negotiation.

  abstract = {International Automated Negotiating Agents Competition (ANAC) was
        held in conjunction with International Joint Conference on Autonomous
        Agents and Multi-Agent Systems (AAMAS). This competition brings together
        researchers from the negotiation community and provides a unique
        benchmark for evaluating practical negotiation strategies in multi-issue
        domains. The previous competitions have provided the novel ideas
        in the field of autonomous agent design. Recently, the focus of the
        competition is interleaving learning with negotiation strategies.
        In this paper, we propose AgentKF which estimates the opponent's
        strategies based on the past negotiation sessions. Our agent tries
        to compromise to the estimated maximum utility of the opponent by
        the end of the negotiation. In addition, our agent can adjust the
        speed of compromising and search the pareto frontier using past negotiation
        sessions. Our agent won the 1st prize in the qualifying round of
        ANAC-2013.},

        Agents Competition (ANAC2011) in conjunction with AAMAS 2011. ANAC
        is an international competition that challenges researchers to develop
        a successful automated negotiator for scenarios where there is incomplete
        information about the opponent. One of the goals of this competition
        is to help steer the research in the area of bilateral multi-issue
        negotiations, and to encourage the design of generic negotiating
        agents that are able to operate in a variety of scenarios. Eighteen
        teams from seven different institutes competed in ANAC2011. This
        chapter describes the participating agents and the setup of the tournament,
        including the different negotiation scenarios that were used in the
        competition. We report on the results of the qualifying and final
        round of the tournament.},

It replaces the p original variables by a smaller number, q, of derived variables, the principal components, which are linear combinations of the original variables. Often, it is possible to retain most of the variability in the original variables with q very much smaller than p. Despite its apparent simplicity, principal component analysis has a number of subtleties, and it has many uses and extensions. A number of choices associated with the technique are briefly discussed, namely, covariance or correlation, how many components, and different normalization constraints, as well as confusion with factor analysis. Various uses and extensions are outlined.},

  volume = {15},
  pages = {221-252},
  abstract = {(ABMP paper) A component-based generic agent architecture for multi-attribute
        (integrative) negotiation is introduced and its application is described
        in a prototype system for negotiation about cars, developed in cooperation
        with, among others, Dutch Telecom KPN. The approach can be characterized
        as cooperative one-to-one multi-criteria negotiation in which the
        privacy of both parties is protected as much as desired. We model
        a mechanism in which agents are able to use any amount of incomplete
        preference information revealed by the negotiation partner in order
        to improve the efficiency of the reached agreements. Moreover, we
        show that the outcome of such a negotiation can be further improved
        by incorporating a guessing heuristic, by which an agent uses the
        history of the opponent's bids to predict his preferences. Experimental
        evaluation shows that the combination of these two strategies leads
        to agreement points close to or on the Pareto-efficient frontier.
        The main original contribution of this paper is that it shows that
        it is possible for parties in a cooperative negotiation to reveal
        only a limited amount of preference information to each other, but
        still obtain significant joint gains in the outcome.},

        more often than not reach inefficient compromises. We analyze the
        circumstances under which rational agents make inefficient compromises
        and refrain from improving them. We do this by describing and interpreting
        various negotiation situations and by developing formal constructs
        and theorems for determining the character of a negotiation situation.
        Key among these concepts is the notion of opposition. Although opposition
        is defined in terms of the utility functions, it is more fundamental
        in the sense that it is more intuitive to decision makers and can
        be used in contexts in which the parties' utilities are unknown or
        are partially known. The effects of various rationality assumptions
        on efficiency and their implications for negotiation support systems
        are discussed. We argue that the prescriptive/descriptive approach
        advocated by negotiation analysts lacks sufficient explanatory powers
        to be effectively used in negotiation support and that negotiation
        support systems should not constrain the parties to the set of efficient
        points.},

  abstract = {Complex modern-day artifacts are designed by groups of experts, each
        with their own areas of expertise. Current approaches to group design
        are often serial and iterative in nature, which can be time-consuming
        as well as leading to poor designs that are expensive to realize.
        New models for cooperative group design, which emphasize the parallel
        interaction of the design experts involved, are needed. A central
        issue in cooperative group design concerns how conflicts among different
        experts can be resolved as the design is being produced. This paper
        proposes a model for how such conflict resolution can take place,
        and describes the results of a study aimed at verifying and instantiating
        this model by examining conflict resolution among human experts in
        the domain of architectural design. The study yielded four main conclusions:
        (1) conflict resolution plays a central role in cooperative design,
        (2) a rich collection of domain-independent conflict resolution expertise
        can be identified, (3) we need to represent the design rationale
        to support conflict resolution, and (4) knowledge acquisition in
        cooperative design presents special challenges and requires special
        techniques. We include a description of the conflict resolution expertise
        we uncovered. },

        for users searching for products. In EMs, Intelligent Agents (IAs)
        can undertake the responsibility of representing buyers and sellers
        and negotiate over the conclusion of purchases. For this purpose,
        a negotiation is held between IAs. The most important characteristics
        are the deadline and the pricing strategy. The strategy defines the
        proposed prices at every round of the negotiation. We focus on the
        buyer side. We study concurrent negotiations between a buyer and
        a set of sellers. In this setting, the buyer utilizes a number of
        threads. Each thread follows a specific strategy and adopts swarm
        intelligence techniques for achieving the optimal agreement. The
        Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm is adopted by each thread.
        Our architecture requires no central coordination. In real situations,
        there is absolutely no knowledge for the characteristics of the involved
        entities. In this paper, we model such kind of uncertainty through
        known techniques for estimating the distribution of deadlines and
        strategies. One of them is the Kernel Density Estimation (KDE) technique.
        Our experimental results depict the time interval where the agreement
        is possible and the efficiency of the proposed model. },

Usually, a negotiation is necessary for the conclusion of the transaction. The conclusion is either positive (agreement) or negative (conflict). An efficient reasoning mechanism is necessary for players participating in negotiations. In this paper, we focus on the buyer side and propose two decision models based on the optimal stopping theory (OST). OST is proved to be very efficient in cases where an entity tries to find the time to stop a process with the aim of maximizing her utility. The outcome of the proposed decision method indicates whether the buyer stops a negotiation either by accepting the offer or continuing in the negotiation by rejecting it. In our models, we assume zero knowledge on the players' characteristics. Our proposed decision models do not require any complex modeling or any information provided by experts. Experimental results reveal the efficiency of each model and provide a comparison assessment with other research efforts.}

        in complex communities of systems and people, cooperation and coordination
        via intelligent agents become increasingly important. Examples of
        such communities include the Internet, electronic commerce, health

        intelligent agents that are self-interested and usually owned by
        different individuals or organizations. Conflicts frequently arise,
        and negotiation is one of the main mechanisms for reaching agreement.
        Kraus presents a strategic-negotiation model that enables autonomous
        agents to reach mutually beneficial agreements efficiently in complex
        environments. The model, which integrates game theory, economic techniques,
        and heuristic methods of artificial intelligence, can be automated
        in computer systems or applied to human situations. The book provides

        constructing the agent is based on a formal analysis of the crises
        scenario using game-theoretic methods and heuristics for bargaining.
        The agent receives messages sent by its opponent, analyzes them and
        responds. It also initiates discussion on one or more parameters
        of an agreement. Experimental results of simulations of a fishing
        dispute between Canada and Spain indicate that the agent played at

        with how automated agents can be designed to interact effectively.
        Negotiation is proposed as a means for agents to communicate and
        compromise to reach mutually beneficial agreements. The paper examines
        the problems of resource allocation and task distribution among autonomous
        agents which can benefit from sharing a common resource or distributing
        a set of common tasks. We propose a strategic model of negotiation
        that takes the passage of time during the negotiation process itself
        into account. A distributed negotiation mechanism is introduced that
        is simple, efficient, stable, and flexible in various situations.
        The model considers situations characterized by complete as well
        as incomplete information, and ones in which some agents lose over
        time while others gain over time. Using this negotiation mechanism
        autonomous agents have simple and stable negotiation strategies that
        result in efficient agreements without delays even when there are
        dynamic changes in the environment.},

  abstract = {A computational prototype of negotiation behavior is presented where
        the following occurs: (1) agents employ different concession matching
        tactics; (2) agents are unaware of opponent preferences; (3) agents
        incur a cost for delaying settlements; (4) agents vary in terms of
        goal difficulty and initial offer magnitude; and (5) demands and
        counter-offers are made and evaluated based on the opponent's degree
        of concession matching. This research explores the impact of the
        interaction of different agent behaviors on the negotiation process
        and the outcome of the negotiation. Simulation experiments show that
        the prototype is able to manifest fundamental patterns and confirms
        the effectiveness of classical negotiation and mediation strategies,
        such as ambitious goals and aggressive concession matching tactics.
        The model reveals some counterintuitive patterns that may shed a
        new perspective on the effects of time constraints and information
        availability},

        strategies, behaviors, and outcomes, and the relationships between
        these factors based on data collected from questionnaires, actual
        behavior during the negotiation process implemented using e-negotiation
        system, and the negotiation outcomes. This study clustered the negotiators
        based on either the negotiators' own strategies or their thoughts
        about those of their partners. This resulted in a division into cooperative
        and noncooperative clusters. We found that the negotiators whose
        own strategies are less cooperative tend to submit more offers but
        fewer messages. However, these people consIDer that they have less
        control over the negotiation process compared with those who adopt
        a more cooperative strategy, who make fewer offers but send more
        messages. Those in the cooperative cluster consistently feel friendlier
        about the negotiation and more satisfied with the outcome and their
        performance. Further, there is a correlation not only between self-strategies
        and the thoughts about partners' strategies, but also between strategies
        and final agreements. Finally, the proportion of negotiations reaching
        agreement is larger for the cooperative cluster than for the noncooperative
        cluster.},

  abstract = {We present a model for bilateral negotiations that considers the uncertain
        and dynamic outside options. Outside options affect the negotiation
        strategies via their impact on the reservation price. The model is
        composed of three modules: single-threaded negotiations, synchronized
        multithreaded negotiations, and dynamic multithreaded negotiations.
        These three modules embody increased sophistication and complexity.
        The single-threaded negotiation model provides negotiation strategies
        without specifically considering outside options. The model of synchronized
        multithreaded negotiations builds on the single-threaded negotiation
        model and considers the presence of concurrently existing outside
        options. The model of dynamic multithreaded negotiations expands
        the synchronized multithreaded model by considering the uncertain
        outside options that may come dynamically in the future. Experimental
        analysis is provided to characterize the impact of outside options
        on the reservation price and thus on the negotiation strategy. The
        results show that the utility of a negotiator improves significantly
        if he/she considers outside options, and the average utility is higher
        when he/she considers both the concurrent outside options and the
        foresees future options},

  abstract = {The design of automated negotiators has been the focus of abundant
        research in recent years. However, due to difficulties involved in
        creating generalized agents that can negotiate in several domains
        and against human counterparts, many automated negotiators are domain
        specific and their behavior cannot be generalized for other domains.
        Some of these difficulties arise from the differences inherent within
        the domains, the need to understand and learn negotiators' diverse
        preferences concerning issues of the domain, and the different strategies
        negotiators can undertake. In this paper we present a system that
        enables alleviation of the difficulties in the design process of
        general automated negotiators termed Genius, a General Environment
        for Negotiation with Intelligent multi-purpose Usage Simulation.
        With the constant introduction of new domains, e-commerce and other
        applications, which require automated negotiations, generic automated
        negotiators encompass many benefits and advantages over agents that
        are designed for a specific domain. Based on experiments conducted
        with automated agents designed by human subjects using Genius we
        provide both quantitative and qualitative results to illustrate its
        efficacy. Finally, we also analyze a recent automated bilateral negotiators
        competition that was based on Genius. Our results show the advantages
        and underlying benefits of using Genius and how it can facilitate
        the design of general automated negotiators.},

  abstract = {The design of automated negotiators has been the focus of abundant
        research in recent years. However and due to difficulties involved
        in creating generalized agents that can negotiate in several domains
        and against human counterparts and many automated negotiators are
        domain specific and their behavior cannot be generalized for other
        domains. Some of these difficulties arise from the differences inherent
        within the domains and the need to understand and learn negotiators'
        diverse preferences concerning issues of the domain and the different
        strategies negotiators can undertake. In this paper we present a
        system that enables alleviation of the difficulties in the design
        process of general automated negotiators termed GENIUS and a General
        Environment for Negotiation with Intelligent multi-purpose Usage
        Simulation. With the constant introduction of new domains and e-commerce
        and other applications and which require automated negotiations and
        generic automated negotiators encompass many benefits and advantages
        over agents that are designed for a specific domain. Based on experiments
        conducted with automated agents designed by human subjects using
        GENIUS we provide both quantitative and qualitative results to illustrate
        its efficacy. Our results show the advantages and underlying benefits
        of using GENIUS for designing general automated negotiators.},

  abstract = {Many tasks in day-to-day life involve interactions among several people.
        Many of these interactions involve negotiating over a desired outcome.
        Negotiation in and of itself is not an easy task, and it becomes
        more complex under conditions of incomplete information. For example,
        the parties do not know in advance the exact tradeoff of their counterparts
        between different outcomes. Furthermore information regarding the
        preferences of counterparts might only be elicited during the negotiation
        process itself. In this paper we propose a model for an automated
        negotiation agent capable of negotiating with bounded rational agents
        under conditions of incomplete information. We test this agent against
        people in two distinct domains, in order to verify that its model
        is generic, and thus can be adapted to any domain as long as the
        negotiators' preferences can be expressed in additive utilities.
        Our results indicate that the automated agent reaches more agreements
        and plays more effectively than its human counterparts. Moreover,
        in most of the cases, the automated agent achieves significantly
        better agreements, in terms of individual utility, than the human
        counterparts playing the same role.},

  title    = {From problems to protocols: Towards a negotiation handbook},
  journal  = {Decision Support Systems},
  year     = {2013},
  abstract = {Abstract Automated negotiation protocols represent a potentially powerful
        tool for problem solving in decision support systems involving participants
        with conflicting interests. However, the effectiveness of negotiation
        approaches depends greatly on the negotiation problem under consideration.
        Since there is no one negotiation protocol that clearly outperforms
        all others in all scenarios, we need to be able to decide which protocol
        is most suited for each particular problem. The goal of our work
        is to meet this challenge by defining a negotiation handbook, that
        is, a collection of design rules which allow us, given a particular
        negotiation problem, to choose the most appropriate protocol to address
        it. This paper describes our progress towards this goal, including
        a tool for generating a wide range of negotiation scenarios, a set
        of high-level metrics for characterizing how negotiation scenarios
        differ, a testbed environment for evaluating protocol performance
        with different scenarios, and a community repository which allows
        us to systematically record and analyze protocol performance data.

  abstract = {The nature of the problems investigated and the techniques employed
        in this book necessitate a procedure which in many instances is thoroughly
        mathematical. The mathematical devices used are elementary in the
        sense that no advanced algebra, or calculus, etc., occurs. (With
        two, rather unimportant, exceptions: Part of the discussion of an
        example in 19.7. et sequ. and a remark in A.3.3. make use of some
        simple integrals.) Concepts originating in set theory, linear geometry
        and group theory play an important role, but they are invariably
        taken from the early chapters of those disciplines and are moreover
        analyzed and explained in special expository sections. Nevertheless
        the book is not truly elementary because the mathematical deductions
        are frequently intricate and the logical possibilities are extensively
        exploited. Thus no specific knowledge of any particular body of advanced
        mathematics is required. However, the reader who wants to acquaint
        himself more thoroughly with the subject expounded here, will have
        to familiarize himself with the mathematical way of reasoning definitely
        beyond its routine, primitive phases. The character of the procedures
        will be mostly that of mathematical logics, set theory and functional
        analysis. We have attempted to present the subject in such a form
        that a reader who is moderately versed in mathematics can acquire
        the necessary practice in the course of this study. We hope that
        we have not entirely failed in this endeavour. In accordance with
        this, the presentation is not what it would be in a strictly mathematical
        treatise. All definitions and deductions are considerably broader
        than they would be there. Besides, purely verbal discussions and
        analyses take up a considerable amount of space. We have in particular
        tried to give, whenever possible, a parallel verbal exposition for
        every major mathematical deduction. It is hoped that this procedure
        will elucidate in unmathematical language what the mathematical technique
        signifies-and will also show where it achieves more than can be done
        without it. ?!? In this, as well as in our methodological stand,
        we are trying to follow the best examples of theoretical physics.
        The reader who is not specifically interested in mathematics should
        at first omit those sections of the book which in his judgment are
        too mathematical. We prefer not to give a definite list of them,
        since this judgment must necessarily be subjective. However, those
        sections marked with an asterisk in the table of contents are most
        likely to occur to the average reader inthis connection. At any rate
        he will find that these omissions will little interfere with the
        comprehension of the early parts, although the logical chain may
        in the rigorous sense have suffered an interruption. As he proceeds
        the omissions will gradually assume a more serious character and
        the lacunae in the deduction will become more and more significant.
        The reader is then advised to start again from the beginning since

  abstract = {Many types of data are best analyzed by fitting a curve using nonlinear
        regression, and computer programs that perform these calculations
        are readily available. Like every scientific technique, however,
        a nonlinear regression program can produce misleading results when
        used inappropriately. This article reviews the use of nonlinear regression
        in a practical and nonmathematical manner to answer the following
        questions: Why is nonlinear regression superior to linear regression
        of transformed data? How does nonlinear regression differ from polynomial
        regression and cubic spline? How do nonlinear regression programs
        work? What choices must an investigator make before performing nonlinear
        regression? What do the final results mean? How can two sets of data
        or two fits to one set of data be compared? What problems can cause
        the results to be wrong? This review is designed to demystify nonlinear
        regression so that both its power and its limitations will be appreciated.},

  abstract = {Negotiation is essential in settings where autonomous agents have
        conflicting interests and a desire to cooperate. For this reason,
        mechanisms in which agents exchange potential agreements according
        to various rules of interaction have become very popular in recent
        years as evident, for example, in the auction and mechanism design
        community. However, a growing body of research is now emerging which
        points out limitations in such mechanisms and advocates the idea
        that agents can increase the likelihood and quality of an agreement
        by exchanging arguments which influence each other; states. This
        community further argues that argument exchange is sometimes essential
        when various assumptions about agent rationality cannot be satisfied.
        To this end, in this article, we identify the main research motivations
        and ambitions behind work in the field. We then provide a conceptual
        framework through which we outline the core elements and features
        required by agents engaged in argumentation-based negotiation, as
        well as the environment that hosts these agents. For each of these
        elements, we survey and evaluate existing proposed techniques in
        the literature and highlight the major challenges that need to be
        addressed if argument-based negotiation research is to reach its
        full potential. },

  abstract = {Negotiation is a fundamental interaction mechanism in multi-agent
        systems because it allows self-interested agents to come to mutually
        beneficial agreements and partition resources efficiently and effectively.
        Now, in many situations, the agents need to negotiate with one another
        many times and so developing strategies that are effective over repeated
        interactions is an important challenge. Against this background,
        a growing body of work has examined the use of Persuasive Negotiation
        (PN), which involves negotiating using rhetorical arguments (such
        as threats, rewards, or appeals), in trying to convince an opponent
        to accept a given offer. Such mechanisms are especially suited to
        repeated encounters because they allow agents to influence the outcomes
        of future negotiations, while negotiating a deal in the present one,
        with the aim of producing results that are beneficial to both parties.
        To this end, in this paper, we develop a comprehensive PN mechanism
        for repeated interactions that makes use of rewards that can be asked
        for or given to. Our mechanism consists of two parts. First, a novel
        protocol that structures the interaction by capturing the commitments
        that agents incur when using rewards. Second, a new reward generation
        algorithm that constructs promises of rewards in future interactions
        as a means of permitting agents to reach better agreements, in a
        shorter time, in the present encounter. We then go on to develop
        a specific negotiation tactic, based on this reward generation algorithm,
        and show that it can achieve significantly better outcomes than existing
        benchmark tactics that do not use such inducements. Specifically,
        we show, via empirical evaluation in a Multi-Move Prisoners' Dilemma
        setting, that our tactic can lead to a 26% improvement in the utility
        of deals that are made and that 21 times fewer messages need to be
        exchanged in order to achieve this.},

        We show that the members of such a team are able to use a pre-arranged
        sequence of moves that they make at the start of each interaction
        in order to recognise one another, and that by coordinating their
        actions they can increase the chances that one of the team members
        wins the round-robin style tournament. We consider, in detail, the
        factors that influence the performance of this team and we show that
        the problem that the team members face, when they attempt to recognise
        one another within the noisy {IPD} tournament, is exactly analogous
        to the problem, studied in information theory, of communicating reliably
        over a noisy channel. Thus we demonstrate that we can use error-correcting

        the performance of the team.},

        agent to make various assumptions about both the goals and the rationality
        of other agents. A hierarchy of rationality assumptions is presented,
        along with an analysis of the consequences that result when an agent
        believes a particularly level in the hierarchy describes other agents'
        rationality. In addition, the formalism presented allows the modeling
        of restrictions on communication and the modeling of binding promises

abstract = {A negotiation team is a set of agents with common and possibly also conflicting preferences that forms one of the parties of a negotiation. A negotiation team is involved in two decision making processes simultaneously, a negotiation with the opponents, and an intra-team process to decide on the moves to make in the negotiation. This article focuses on negotiation team decision making for circumstances that require unanimity of team decisions. Existing agent-based approaches only guarantee unanimity in teams negotiating in domains exclusively composed of predictable and compatible issues. This article presents a model for negotiation teams that guarantees unanimous team decisions in domains consisting of predictable and compatible, and alsounpredictable issues. Moreover, the article explores the influence of using opponent, and team member models in the proposing strategies that team members use. Experimental results show that the team benefits if team members employ Bayesian learning to model their teammates' preferences.},

  abstract = {Ambient Intelligence aims to offer personalized services and easier
        ways of interaction between people and systems. Since several users
        and systems may coexist in these environments, it is quite possible
        that entities with opposing preferences need to cooperate to reach
        their respective goals. Automated negotiation is pointed as one of
        the mechanisms that may provide a solution to this kind of problems.
        In this article, a multi-issue bilateral bargaining model for Ambient
        Intelligence domains is presented where it is assumed that agents
        have computational bounded resources and do not know their opponents'
        preferences. The main goal of this work is to provide negotiation
        models that obtain efficient agreements while maintaining the computational
        cost low. A niching genetic algorithm is used before the negotiation
        process to sample one's own utility function (self-sampling). During
        the negotiation process, genetic operators are applied over the opponent's
        and one's own offers in order to sample new offers that are interesting
        for both parties. Results show that the proposed model is capable
        of outperforming similarity heuristics which only sample before the
        negotiation process and of obtaining similar results to similarity
        heuristics which have access to all of the possible offers. },

        of the all-out conflict (that ends the game) because the outcomes
        of both types of confrontations are driven by the relative strength
        of the parties. We limit the analysis to the case where the uninformed
        party can learn the information transmitted in the battlefield but
        not the one conveyed by offers. The game becomes then an optimal
        stopping problem where the informed party has to decide at each period
        whether to stop, by reaching an agreement or by invoking total conflict,
        or to keep fighting. We show that conflict is a double-edge sword:
        It may paradoxically open the door to agreement when the uniformed
        party is too optimistic. But confrontation also occurs when agreement
        is possible but the informed agent has incentives to improve her
        bargaining position by fighting.},

  abstract = {Task execution in multi-agent environments may require cooperation
        among agents. Given a set of agents and a set of tasks which they
        have to satisfy, we consider situations where each task should be
        attached to a group of agents that will perform the task. Task allocation
        to groups of agents is necessary when tasks cannot be performed by
        a single agent. However it may also be beneficial when groups perform
        more efficiently with respect to the single agents' performance.
        In this paper we present several solutions to the problem of task
        allocation among autonomous agents, and suggest that the agents form
        coalitions in order to perform tasks or improve the efficiency of
        their performance. We present efficient distributed algorithms with
        low ratio bounds and with low computational complexities. These properties
        are proven theoretically and supported by simulations and an implementation
        in an agent system. Our methods are based on both the algorithmic
        aspects of combinatorics and approximation algorithms for NP-hard
        problems. We first present an approach to agent coalition formation
        where each agent must be a member of only one coalition. Next, we
        present the domain of overlapping coalitions. We proceed with a discussion
        of the domain where tasks may have a precedence order. Finally, we
        discuss the case of implementation in an open, dynamic agent system.
        For each case we provide an algorithm that will lead agents to the
        formation of coalitions, where each coalition is assigned a task.
        Our algorithms are any-time algorithms, they are simple, efficient
        and easy to implement. },

        the player with the ball must decide whether the shot is worth taking.
        In this article, I explore the question of when a team should shoot
        and when they should pass up the shot by considering a simple theoretical
        model of the shot selection process, in which the quality of shot
        opportunities generated by the offense is assumed to fall randomly
        within a uniform distribution. Within this model I derive an answer
        to the question how likely must the shot be to go in before the player
        should take it? and I show that this lower cutoff for shot quality

year = {1999},
institution = {EconWPA},
type = {Experimental},
abstract = {The results of Ultimatum Game experiments are often quoted as evidence for the role of fairness in bargaining or in economic behaviour more generally. This paper argues that the observed fairness levels are contingent on the traditional experimental design where players are newly matched each round, and reputations are therefore excluded. Evidence from a new experiment shows that average behaviour is more competitive and conflict rates are higher when subjects play against the same opponent repeatedly. This finding is not expected by the traditional fairness hypothesis. A detailed analysis of the dynamics of pairs of players shows that different types of players coexist in the subject pool. Whereas previous experiments found evidence for the existence of fair players, the present study reports also a significant number of tough players. Hence, there is evidence that allowing for reputations in repeated ultimatum bargaining induces different patterns of behaviour that have not been observed before in this game.},

        the length of the bargaining horizon are analysed. The ways in which
        the bargaining environment can be changed to improve outcomes are

        "Nash bargaining theory". It illustrates the new insights offered
        by the non-cooperative approach, by reference to a detailed analysis
        of the manner in which the presence of an outside option available
        to one of the parties will affect the negotiated outcome. Finally,
        the difficulties which arise in extending this analysis to two-person
        bargaining with incomplete information, and to n-person bargaining,
        are discussed. This is a revised version of the fourth Review of

  volume = {10},
  pages = {121 - 136},
  number = {2},
  abstract = {Because negotiation and conflict resolution are complex and unstructured
        tasks, they need sophisticated decision support. One of the crucial
        characteristics of such support is systems that are capable of improving
        their performance, both in terms of efficiency and solution quality,
        by employing machine learning techniques. A framework for intelligent
        computer-supported conflict resolution through negotiation/ mediation
        is presented. The model integrates Artificial Intelligence methods
        (case-based reasoning) and decision theoretic techniques (multi-attribute
        utilities) to provide enhanced conflict resolution and negotiation
        support in group problem solving. This model has been implemented
        in the PERSUADER, a computer program which operates in the domain
        of resolution of labor management disputes. The PERSUADER uses case-based
        reasoning (CBR) to learn from its experience. In contrast to quantitative
        models or expert systems that solve each problem from scratch and
        discard the solution at the end of problem solving, CBR retains the
        process and results of its computational decisions so that they can
        be re-used to solve future related problems. CBR is a powerful learning
        method since it enables a system not only to exploit previous succesful
        decisions, thus short-cutting possibly long reasoning chains, but
        also to profit from previous failures by using them to recognize
        similar failures in advance so they can be avoided in the future.
        As the state of the art in DSS development advances and as DSSs support
        increasingly more complicated tasks, such machine learning techniques
        will become an indispensable part of decision support systems.},

  abstract = {This paper presents Persuasive Argumentation as a means of guiding
        the negotiation process to a settlement. Decision theoretic approaches
        construct prescriptive models of the negotiation process that make
        various assumptions about the behavior of the negotiation participants
        but do not model changes in behavior. On the other hand, models for
        decision support leave the actual decisions to human negotiators,
        again not modeling or automating the negotiating process. In contrast
        to both approaches, our work deals with automating the negotiation
        process. This paper focuses on modeling the process by which the
        beliefs and behavior of negotiators are changed via persuasive argumentation.
        We claim that persuasive argumentation lies at the heart of negotiation
        and embodies the dynamics of negotiation. We present a model of persuasive
        argumentation that integrates Artificial Intelligence and decision
        theoretic methods. The model has been implemented as part of the

  number = {14},
  abstract = {In this paper, we describe a novel bidding strategy that autonomous
        trading agents can use to participate in Continuous Double Auctions
        (CDAs). Our strategy is based on both short and long-term learning
        that allows such agents to adapt their bidding behaviour to be efficient
        in a wide variety of environments. For the short-term learning, the
        agent updates the aggressiveness of its bidding behaviour (more aggressive
        means it will trade off profit to improve its chance of transacting,
        less aggressive that it targets more profitable transactions and
        is willing to trade off its chance of transacting to achieve them)
        based on market information observed after any bid or ask appears
        in the market. The long-term learning then determines how this aggressiveness
        factor influences an agent's choice of which bids or asks to submit
        in the market, and is based on market information observed after
        every transaction (successfully matched bid and ask). The principal
        motivation for the short-term learning is to enable the agent to
        immediately respond to market fluctuations, while for the long-term
        learning it is to adapt to broader trends in the way in which the
        market demand and supply changes over time. We benchmark our strategy
        against the current state of the art (ZIP and GDX) and show that
        it outperforms these benchmarks in both static and dynamic environments.
        This is true both when the population is homogeneous (where the increase
        in efficiency is up to 5.2%) and heterogeneous (in which case there
        is a 0.85 probability of our strategy being adopted in a two-population
        evolutionary game theoretic analysis). },

  title = {Practical Strategies for Agent-Based Negotiation in Complex Environments},
  school = {University of Southampton},
  year = {2012},
  month = {Dec},
  abstract = {Agent-based negotiation, whereby the negotiation is automated by software
        programs, can be applied to many different negotiation situations,
        including negotiations between friends, businesses or countries.
        A key benefit of agent-based negotiation over human negotiation is
        that it can be used to negotiate effectively in complex negotiation
        environments, which consist of multiple negotiation issues, time
        constraints, and multiple unknown opponents. While automated negotiation
        has been an active area of research in the past twenty years, existing
        work has a number of limitations. Specifically, most of the existing
        literature has considered time constraints in terms of the number
        of rounds of negotiation that take place. In contrast, in this work
        we consider time constraints which are based on the amount of time
        that has elapsed. This requires a different approach, since the time
        spent computing the next action has an effect on the utility of the
        outcome, whereas the actual number of offers exchanged does not.
        In addition to these time constraints, in the complex negotiation
        environments which we consider, there are multiple negotiation issues,
        and we assume that the opponents? preferences over these issues and
        the behaviour of those opponents are unknown. Finally, in our environment
        there can be concurrent negotiations between many participants.
        
        Against this background, in this thesis we present the design of a
        range of practical negotiation strategies, the most advanced of which
        uses Gaussian process regression to coordinate its concession against
        its various opponents, whilst considering the behaviour of those
        opponents and the time constraints. In more detail, the strategy
        uses observations of the offers made by each opponent to predict
        the future concession of that opponent. By considering the discounting
        factor, it predicts the future time which maximises the utility of
        the offers, and we then use this in setting our rate of concession.
        Furthermore, we evaluate the negotiation agents that we have developed,
        which use our strategies, and show that, particularly in the more
        challenging scenarios, our most advanced strategy outperforms other
        state-of-the-art agents from the Automated Negotiating Agent Competition,
        which provides an international benchmark for this work. In more
        detail, our results show that, in one-to-one negotiation, in the
        highly discounted scenarios, our agent reaches outcomes which, on
        average, are 2.3\% higher than those of the next best agent.
        
        Furthermore, using empirical game theoretic analysis we show the robustness
        of our strategy in a variety of tournament settings. This analysis
        shows that, in the highly discounted scenarios, no agent can benefit
        by choosing a different strategy (taken from the top four strategies
        in that setting) than ours. Finally, in the many-to-many negotiations,
        we show how our strategy is particularly effective in highly competitive
        scenarios, where it outperforms the state-of-the-art many-to-many
        negotiation strategy by up to 45\%.},

abstract = "Abstract Multi-item negotiations surround our daily life and usually involve two parties that share common or conflicting interests. Effective automated negotiation techniques should enable the agents to adaptively adjust their behaviors depending on the characteristics of their negotiating partners and negotiation scenarios. This is complicated by the fact that the negotiation agents are usually unwilling to reveal their information (strategies and preferences) to avoid being exploited during negotiation. In this paper, we propose an adaptive negotiation strategy, called ABiNeS, which can make effective negotiations against different types of negotiating partners. The {ABiNeS} strategy employs the non-exploitation point to adaptively adjust the appropriate time to stop exploiting the negotiating partner and also predicts the optimal offer for the negotiating partner based on the reinforcement-learning based approach. Simulation results show that the {ABiNeS} strategy can perform more efficient exploitations against different types of negotiating partners, and thus achieve higher overall payoffs compared with the state-of-the-art strategies under negotiation tournaments. We also provide a detailed analysis of why the {ABiNeS} strategy can negotiate more efficiently compared with other existing state-of-the-art negotiation strategies focusing on two major components. Lastly, we propose adopting the single-agent best deviation principle to analyze the robustness of different negotiation strategies based on model checking techniques. Through our analysis, the {ABiNeS} strategy is shown to be very robust against other state-of-the-art strategies under different negotiation contexts. "

        complex multi-issue domains. We formalise our strategy as an optimisation
        problem, in which decisions are based on probabilistic information
        about the opponents' strategies acquired during negotiation. In doing
        so, we develop the first principled approach that enables the coordination
        of multiple, concurrent negotiation threads for practical negotiation
        settings. Furthermore, we validate our strategy using the agents
        and domains developed for the International Automated Negotiating
        Agents Competition (ANAC), and we benchmark our strategy against
        the state-of-the-art. We find that our approach significantly outperforms
        existing approaches, and this difference improves even further as
        the number of available negotiation opponents and the complexity
        of the negotiation domain increases.},

  abstract = {In final-offer arbitration the two parties to a dispute submit final
        offers to an arbitrator. The arbitrator then chooses as the binding
        solution that offer which is closest to his own view of the appropriate
        outcome. Because the disputants are imperfectly informed about the
        arbitrator's preferences, final-offer arbitration can be modeled
        as a game of imperfect information. Interesting questions arise concerning
        the nature of the optimal strategies and how they are affected by
        different characteristics of the arbitrator and the disputants. We
        provide conditions for an equilibrium to exist in a final-offer arbitration
        game when there are k issues, the probability function is not specified
        and the disputants are either risk averse or risk neutral. Furthermore,
        the players may have differing beliefs about the arbitrator's probability
        function. We demonstrate that increased risk aversion by one of the
        parties will result in both players choosing positions farther away
        from the more risk averse party. We also discover the affect of bias
        (as well as the effect of increased sensitivity) by the arbitrator
        on the positions taken by the players.},

Recent growing interest in autonomous interacting software agents and their potential application in areas such as electronic commerce has give increased importance to automated negotiation. Evidence both from theoretical analysis and from observations of human interactions suggests that if decision makers can somehow take into consideration what other agents are thinking and furthermore learn during their interactions how other agents behave, their payoff might increase. In this paper, we propose a sequential decision-making model of negotiation, called Bazaar. It provides an adaptive, multi-issue negotiation model capable of exhibiting a rich set of negotiation behaviors. Within the proposed negotiation framework, we model learning as a Bayesian belief update process. In this paper, we present both theoretical analysis and initial experimental results showing that learning is beneficial in the sequential negotiation model. "

        in general noncooperative domains. Necessary and sufficient conditions
        for cooperation are outlined. By redefining the concept of utility,
        it is possible to enlarge the number of situations that have a cooperative
        solution. An approach is offered for conflict resolution, and it
        is shown that even in a conflict situation, partial cooperative steps
        can be taken by interacting agents. A unified negotiation protocol
        is developed that can be used in all cases. It is shown that in certain
        borderline cooperative situations, a partial cooperative agreement
        might be preferred by all agents, even though there exists a rational
        agreement that would achieve all their goals. A deal hierarchy is
        presented that captures the partial order among various kinds of
        deals between agents. The multiplan deal, which involves negotiating
        over a pair of joint plans simultaneously, allows cooperative agreement
        and conflict resolution in both fixed goal and flexible goal domains},

abstract={In this paper we empirically investigate the feasibility of using peer-designed agents (PDAs) instead of people for the purpose of mechanism evaluation. This latter approach has been increasingly advocated in agent research in recent years, mainly due to its many benefits in terms of time and cost. Our experiments compare the behavior of 31 PDAs and 150 people in a legacy eCommerce-based price-exploration setting, using different price-setting mechanisms and different performance measures. The results show a varying level of similarity between the aggregate behavior obtained when using people and when using PDAs -- in some settings similar results were obtained, in others the use of PDAs rather than people yields substantial differences. This suggests that the ability to generalize results from one successful implementation of PDA-based systems to another, regarding the use of PDAs as a substitute to people in systems evaluation, is quite limited. The decision to prefer PDAs for mechanism evaluation is therefore setting dependent and the applicability of the approach must be re-evaluated whenever switching to a new setting or using a different measure. Furthermore, we show that even in settings where the aggregate behavior is found to be similar, the individual strategies used by agents in each group highly vary.},

By control architecture we mean a specific way of organizing the motion control and navigation functions performed by the UAV. It is convenient to organize the functions into hierarchical layers. This way, a complex design problem is partitioned into a number of more manageable subproblems that are addressed in separate layers. This paper discusses vehicle control requirements and maps them onto layered control architecture. The formalization of the hierarchy is accomplished in terms of the specific functions accomplished by each layer and of the interfaces between layers. The implementation of the layers is discussed and illustrative examples are provided.},

Often, one's no-agreement alternatives are uncertain and finding them requires a costly search, as in the case of a seller who must expend effort, time, and money in finding potential buyers. The value of the search should determine the seller's bottom-line or reservation price in dealings with a prospective buyer. Optimal search and stopping theory suggest useful procedures and heuristics for evaluating one's reservation price in negotiation and for searching among alternatives.},

  abstract = {Agent negotiation is a form of decision making where two or more agents jointly search for a mutually agreed solution to a certain problem. In multi-issue negotiation, with information available about the agents' preferences, a negotiation may result in a mutually beneficial agreement. In a competitive negotiation environment, however, self-interested agents may not be willing to reveal their preferences, and this can increase the difficulty of negotiating a mutually beneficial agreement. In order to solve this problem, this paper proposes a Bayesian-based approach which can help an agent to predict its opponent's preference in bilateral multi-issue negotiation. The proposed approach employs Bayesian theory to analyse the opponent's historical offers and to approximately predict the opponent's preference over negotiation issues. A counter-offer proposition algorithm is also integrated into the prediction approach to help agents to propose mutually beneficial offers based on the prediction results. Experimental results indicate good performance of the proposed approach in terms of utility gain and negotiation efficiency.},

abstract = "Abstract Multi-item negotiations surround our daily life and usually involve two parties that share common or conflicting interests. Effective automated negotiation techniques should enable the agents to adaptively adjust their behaviors depending on the characteristics of their negotiating partners and negotiation scenarios. This is complicated by the fact that the negotiation agents are usually unwilling to reveal their information (strategies and preferences) to avoid being exploited during negotiation. In this paper, we propose an adaptive negotiation strategy, called ABiNeS, which can make effective negotiations against different types of negotiating partners. The \{ABiNeS\} strategy employs the non-exploitation point to adaptively adjust the appropriate time to stop exploiting the negotiating partner and also predicts the optimal offer for the negotiating partner based on the reinforcement-learning based approach. Simulation results show that the \{ABiNeS\} strategy can perform more efficient exploitations against different types of negotiating partners, and thus achieve higher overall payoffs compared with the state-of-the-art strategies under negotiation tournaments. We also provide a detailed analysis of why the \{ABiNeS\} strategy can negotiate more efficiently compared with other existing state-of-the-art negotiation strategies focusing on two major components. Lastly, we propose adopting the single-agent best deviation principle to analyze the robustness of different negotiation strategies based on model checking techniques. Through our analysis, the \{ABiNeS\} strategy is shown to be very robust against other state-of-the-art strategies under different negotiation contexts. "

The Power Trading Agent Competition (Power TAC) is a rich competitive simulation of future retail power markets. This simulation will help us to understand the dynamics of customer and retailer decision-making and the robustness of market designs, by stimulating researchers to develop broker agents and benchmark them against each other. This will provide compelling, actionable information for policymakers and industry leaders. We describe the competition scenario in detail, and we demonstrate behaviors that arise from the interaction of customer and broker models. },

An automated negotiation is needed to establish customized SLAs between service providers and consumers with no previous knowledge of each other. Traditional negotiations between humans are often fraught with difficulty. Thus, in this work, the use of intelligent agents to represent cloud providers and consumers is advocated. Rubinstein's Alternating Offers Protocol offers a suitable technical solution for this challenging problem. The purpose of this paper is to apply the state-of-the-art in negotiation automated algorithms/agents within a described Cloud Computing SLA framework, and to evaluate the most appropriate negotiation approach based on many criteria.},

  abstract  = {Bilateral multi-issue closed negotiation is an important class for real-life negotiations. Usually, negotiation problems have constraints such as a complex and unknown opponent's utility in real time, or time discounting. In the class of negotiation with some constraints, the effective automated negotiation agents can adjust their behavior depending on the characteristics of their opponents and negotiation scenarios. Recently, the attention of this study has focused on the interleaving learning with negotiation strategies from the past negotiation sessions. By analyzing the past negotiation sessions, agents can estimate the opponent's utility function based on exchanging bids. In this paper, we propose an automated agent that estimates the opponent's strategies based on the past negotiation sessions. Our agent tries to compromise to the estimated maximum utility of the opponent by the end of the negotiation. In addition, our agent can adjust the speed of compromise by judging the opponent's Thomas-Kilmann Conflict Mode and search for the pareto frontier using past negotiation sessions. In the experiments, we demonstrate that the proposed agent has better outcomes and greater search technique for the pareto frontier than existing agents in the linear and nonlinear utility functions.},

  abstract = {Abstract In automated bilateral multi issue negotiations, two intelligent automated agents negotiate on behalf of their owners regarding many issues in order to reach an agreement. Modeling the opponent can excessively boost the performance of the agents and increase the quality of the negotiation outcome. State of the art models accomplish this by considering some assumptions about the opponent which restricts the applicability of the models in real scenarios. In this study, a less restricted technique where perceptron units (POPPONENT) are applied in modeling the preferences of the opponent is proposed. This model adopts the Multi Bipartite version of the Standard Gradient Descent search algorithm (MBGD) to find the best hypothesis, which is the best preference profile. In order to evaluate the accuracy and performance of this proposed opponent model, it is compared with the state of the art models available in the Genius repository. This results in the devised setting which approves the higher accuracy of \{POPPONENT\} compared to the most accurate state of the art model. Evaluating the model in the real world negotiation scenarios in the Genius framework also confirms its high accuracy in relation to the state of the art models in estimating the utility of offers. The findings here indicate that this proposed model is individually and socially efficient. This proposed \{MBGD\} method could also be adopted in other practical areas of Artificial Intelligence. },

In developing such algorithms the main focus has been on their efficiency and their effectiveness. However, this is only a part of the picture. Typically, agents negotiate on behalf of their owners and for this to be effective the agents must be able to adequately represent their owners? strategies and preferences for negotiation. However, the process by which such knowledge is acquired is typically left unspecified. To address this problem, we undertook a study of how user information about negotiation tradeoff strategies and preferences can be captured. Specifically, we devised a novel default-then-adjust acquisition technique. In this, the system firstly does a structured interview with the user to suggest the attributes that the tradeoff could be made between, then it asks the user to adjust the suggested default tradeoff strategy by improving some attribute to see how much worse the attribute being traded off can be made while still being acceptable, and, finally, it asks the user to adjust the default preference on the tradeoff alternatives. This method is consistent with the principles of standard negotiation theory and to demonstrate its effectiveness we implemented a prototype system and performed an empirical evaluation in an accommodation renting scenario. The result of this evaluation indicates the proposed technique is helpful and efficient in accurately acquiring the users? tradeoff strategies and preferences.}

The analysis includes the identification of relevant and negotiable privacy dimensions for different usage domains. Based on a formalization of the user's privacy revelation problem, we model the negotiation process as a Bayesian game where the service provider faces different types of users. Finally an extension to P3P is proposed that allows a simple expression and implementation of negotiation processes.},

  abstract = {Establishing an open data market would require the creation of a data trading model to facilitate exchange of data between different parties in the Internet of Things (IoT) domain. The data collected by IoT products and solutions are expected to be traded in these markets. Data owners will collect data using IoT products and solutions. Data consumers who are interested will negotiate with the data owners to get access to such data. Data captured by IoT products will allow data consumers to further understand the preferences and behaviors of data owners and to generate additional business value using techniques ranging from waste reduction to personalized service offerings. In open data markets, data consumers will be able to give back part of the additional value generated to the data owners. However, privacy becomes a significant issue when data that can be used to derive extremely personal information is being traded. This article discusses why privacy matters in the IoT domain in general and especially in open data markets, and then surveys existing privacy-preserving strategies and design techniques that can be used to facilitate end-to-end privacy for open data markets. It also highlights some of the major research challenges that must be addressed to make the vision of open data markets a reality through ensuring the privacy of stakeholders.},

abstract = "We present a new method, called UTAGMS, for multiple criteria ranking of alternatives from set A using a set of additive value functions which result from an ordinal regression. The preference information provided by the decision maker is a set of pairwise comparisons on a subset of alternatives ARA, called reference alternatives. The preference model built via ordinal regression is the set of all additive value functions compatible with the preference information. Using this model, one can define two relations in the set A: the necessary weak preference relation which holds for any two alternatives a, b from set A if and only if for all compatible value functions a is preferred to b, and the possible weak preference relation which holds for this pair if and only if for at least one compatible value function a is preferred to b. These relations establish a necessary and a possible ranking of alternatives from A, being, respectively, a partial preorder and a strongly complete relation. The UTAGMS method is intended to be used interactively, with an increasing subset AR and a progressive statement of pairwise comparisons. When no preference information is provided, the necessary weak preference relation is a weak dominance relation, and the possible weak preference relation is a complete relation. Every new pairwise comparison of reference alternatives, for which the dominance relation does not hold, is enriching the necessary relation and it is impoverishing the possible relation, so that they converge with the growth of the preference information. Distinguishing necessary and possible consequences of preference information on the complete set of actions, UTAGMS answers questions of robustness analysis. Moreover, the method can support the decision maker when his/her preference statements cannot be represented in terms of an additive value function. The method is illustrated by an example solved using the UTAGMS software. Some extensions of the method are also presented."

Querying for preferences can annoy the users. We suggest employing a voting mechanism that finds a winning item under incomplete settings. We present a practical method for eliciting the preferences, so that with a minimal amount of queries a winning item that certainly suits the group can be computed. The heuristic incorporates probabilistic assumptions on the users' preferences and was evaluated on a real world datasets as well as on simulated data, showing a saving in queries to users.",

abstract = "Abstract Conflict is an inevitable part of both knowledge elicitation and system design. People will disagree over how to interpret features of the application domain, what the requirements for a new system are, and how to meet those requirements. Conventional systems analysis techniques avoid such conflicts, making any resolution untraceable and adding to the communication problems. This paper surveys a number of fields which have addressed the problems of conflict resolution. A model of computer-supported negotiation is presented which can be used to address conflicts in systems analysis directly. The model begins with an exploratory phase, in which the conflict is broken down into its components, eliciting the issues which underlie disagreements and criteria to measure their satisfaction. A set of options for possible resolutions are generated using design techniques. Finally, these options are compared to the original issues, and evaluated according to the criteria associated with the issues. The model emphasizes communication, and encourages investigation of other viewpoints. The model has been used to develop a system called Synoptic, which provides a set of tools to support the exploration of conflicts."

abstract="Negotiation with multiple interdependent issues is an important problem since much of real-world negotiation falls into this category. This paper examines the problem that, in such domains, agent utility functions are nonlinear, and thereby can create nonconvex Pareto frontiers. This in turn implies that the Nash Bargaining Solution, which has been viewed as the gold standard for identifying a unique optimal negotiation outcome, does not serve that role in nonlinear domains. In nonlinear domains, unlike linear ones, there can be multiple Nash Bargaining Solutions, and all can be sub-optimal with respect to social welfare and fairness. In this paper, we propose a novel negotiation protocol called SFMP (the Secure and Fair Mediator Protocol) that addresses this challenge, enabling secure multilateral negotiations with fair and pareto-optimal outcomes in nonlinear domains. The protocol works by (1) using nonlinear optimization, combined with a Multi-Party protocol, to find the Pareto front without revealing agent's private utility information, and (2) selecting the agreement from the Pareto set that maximizes a fair division criterion we call approximated fairness. We demonstrate that SFMP is able to find agreements that maximize fairness and social welfare in nonlinear domains, and out-performs (in terms of outcomes and scalability) previously developed nonlinear negotiation protocols.",
