Abstract:
A negotiating agent engages in multi-issue bilateral negotiation
in a dynamic information-rich environment. The
agent strives to make informed decisions. The agent may
assume that the integrity of some of its information decays
with time, and that a negotiation may break down under certain
conditions. The agent makes no assumptions about the
internals of its opponent - it focuses only on the signals
that it receives. It constructs two probability distributions
over the set of all deals. First the probability that its opponent
will accept a deal, and second that a deal will prove to
be acceptable to it in time.
