The paper describes the problem of multilateral negotiations, conducted in a distributed environment. In the multilateral negotiation, more than two partners participate simultaneously. Multilateral negotiation processes are important in the case where objects of the negotiation are bounded with by certain constraints (e.g. physical constraints), or if the participants trade with different bundles of commodities. The commodities structure may then force the necessity of multilateral negotiation. The interaction protocol for the multilateral negotiation, based on FIPA's protocol, is presented. A simple, yet representative example is presented to illustrate the problem. The results of computer simulations of the proposed negotiation process are presented.
