Abstract

Different negotiation engineering domains require the system designer to tailor the negotiation framework according to the domain under which it will be used. This process of system design is timely consuming when supporting different geographically distributed and dynamic environments. Here we show a methodology to design negotiation systems by integrating domain-dependent message structure ontology with domain-independent marketplace architecture. The methodology gives the system designers a powerful modeling tool that can be used to tailor the framework in order to support different negotiation behaviors under different domains. The system entity structure formalism is used to build the domain-dependent ontology while the finite deterministic discrete event system formalism is used to build the marketplace model. The discrete event system with service oriented architecture simulation environment was employed to demonstrate a proof of concept of applicability to web service domains.
