We investigate a problem that lies at the intersection of three research areas, namely
Automated Negotiation, Vehicle Routing, and Multi-Objective Optimization. Specifically, we …

Negotiation is a process in which two or more parties aim to reach a joint agreement. As
such negotiation involves rational decision making about options and issues. However …

Existing work on automated negotiations has mainly focused on bilateral negotiations with
linear utility functions. It is often assumed that all possible agreements and their utility values …

When studying extensive-form games it is commonly assumed that players make their
decisions individually. One usually does not allow the possibility for the players to negotiate …

Many real-world negotiations involve multiple interdependent issues, which makes an
agent's utility functions complex, with nonlinear shapes and multiple optima. Traditional …

Abstract Existing work on Automated Negotiations commonly assumes the negotiators' utility
functions have explicit closed-form expressions, and can be calculated quickly. In many real …

[EN] In this paper we present a new algorithm for negotiations in non-zero-sum games.
Although games have been studied extensively, most game playing algorithms have been …

Negotiation with multiple interdependent issues is an important problem since much of real-
world negotiation falls into this category. This paper examines the problem that, in such …

Ambient Intelligence aims to offer personalized services and easier ways of interaction
between people and systems. Since several users and systems may coexist in these …

Recently, it has been proposed that Game Description Language (GDL) could be used to
define negotiation domains. This would open up an entirely new, declarative, approach to …
