Abstract

With the spread of e-commerce on a global scale, the development of truly open semantic descriptions of negotiation mechanisms for agent systems generated a lot of interest in the research community. This paper proposes the use of the REWERSE rule-markup language R2ML for semantic modeling of negotiation mechanisms to enable agents to engage in more flexible and open negotiations. Rules are developed on top of an ontology of negotiation concepts and define a lingua franca for all software agents participating in negotiation.
