Abstract
Reframing is a sub-type of interest-based negotiation strategy that enhances bargaining by allowing the negotiators to ask for the underlying goal of the negotiation and propose alternative plan(s) which may entail a deal on alternative issues. This paper (i) presents a negotiation protocol that support both alternate offers monotonic bargaining and reframing and (ii) gives a fully computational and reproducible specification of bargaining and reframing capable negotiation agents using the 3APL agent language.
