Abstract
Semantic-based e-marketplaces have emerged in recent years, to ease the initial phase of transaction in e-marketplaces, where demand/supply descriptions can be complex and expressive.With the - long term - aim of building an e-marketplace fully exploiting rich semantic descriptions in all stages of a transaction, in this paper we propose a semantic-oriented approach to multi issue bilateral negotiation, which exploits a simple propositional logic. We present the theoretical setting, the negotiation protocol, whose outcome is Pareto-efficient, and illustrate the behavior with a simple example.

An Experimental Study of Buyer-Seller Negotiation with One-Sided Incomplete Information and Time Discounting
We study a multiperiod bargaining mechanism in which a seller negotiates with a buyer over the price of an indivisible good. It is common knowledge that the good has zero value to the seller. Its value to the buyer is privately known, distributed ...
On efficient mediation approach to multi-issue negotiation with optimal and fair outcomes
AAMAS '10: Proceedings of the 9th International Conference on Autonomous Agents and Multiagent Systems: volume 1 - Volume 1Empirical evidence suggests that self-interested agents often fail to reach optimal agreements in multi-issue negotiations. Most existing negotiation approaches either do not address fairness issues; or do not consider computational concerns. To address ...
