Abstract

We propose an improved approach for modeling behaviours of negotiation partners and predictive decision-making based on this modelling. Our prediction is based only on the history of the offers during the current negotiation. The mechanism estimates an influence of different factors contributing to partner's behaviour during negotiation and uses this information to construct a prediction about agent's future behaviour. The optimal sequence of offers is determined according to the prediction. The approach is tested in simple scenarios and the results comparing our approach to random strategy selection are illustrated.
