= Masterthesis: Opponent Models in Bilateral Negotiation =
by Mark Hendrikx.

== Literature Survey ==
The newest version can be found on the [https://mmi.tudelft.nl/svn/timb/Opponent%20Models%20Survey SVN repository]

== Main Research Questions ==
 * How to measure the quality of opponent models?
 * Are agents using opponent models "better" than other agents?
 * How do opponent models compare regarding accuracy, convergence, and computational cost?
 * How to create an opponent model which is better than the state-of-the-art?
