Abstract

Intentional agents are charged with generating and executing intentionally plans of action towards the achievement of their goals. They operate in multi-agent systems and situations often arise in which their plans conflict with the plans of other agents. The predominant process for resolving conflicts is negotiation. This paper presents a generic negotiation mechanism, a new approach for defining a structure for negotiation problems, a method for generating negotiation proposals, and methods for generating counterproposals either by making or not making concessions.
