Abstract

In this paper we present an experimental analysis of a fuzzy constraint based framework for automated purchase negotiations in competitive trading environments. The main goal of this work is to show by experimental analysis which combination of different agents' negotiation attitudes allows buyer and seller agents to improve the multi-attribute bilateral negotiation processes. Agents' attitudes are related to the agents' strategic behaviour in the negotiation process, where strategic behaviours are described in terms of expressiveness and receptiveness.
