Abstract

In this paper we propose a modification to a fuzzy constraint based framework for automated purchase negotiations in competitive trading environments. The goal of this work is to improve the performance of the negotiation processes in terms of computation time and joint utility. This modification is based on the use of clustering techniques in the seller's decision mechanisms.
