Abstract

In this paper, the ongoing research of the author on designing an automated negotiator is described. One of the key challenges of designing a successful negotiation agent is that usually only limited information is available about the other party. Therefore, we need to combine various learning techniques to decide what offers to make, and when to accept. Our goal is to investigate techniques for developing a versatile automated negotiator that can effectively conduct negotiations in an incomplete information setting.
