Title: Automated Negotiation from Declarative Contract Descriptions
Keywords: Negotiations
Contracts
Auctions
Domain-specific knowledge
Issue Date: 1-Jun-2013
Description: Our approach for automating the negotiation of business contracts proceeds in three broad steps. First, determine the structure of the negotiation process by applying general knowledge about auctions and domain-specific knowledge about the contract subject along with preferences from po- tential buyers and sellers. Second, translate the determined negotiation structure into an operational specication for an auction platform. Third, map the negotiation results to a nal contract. We have implemented a prototype which supports these steps, employing a declarative specication (in Courteous Logic Programs) of (1) high-level knowledge about alternative negotiation structures, (2) general-case rules about auction parameters, (3) rules to map the auction parameters to a specic auction platform, and (4) special- case rules for subject domains. We demonstrate the exi- bility of this approach by automatically generating several alternative negotiation structures for a previous domain: travel-shopping in a trading agent competitio
