The State of the Art in Automated Negotiation Models of the Behavior and Information Perspective

Abstract

The following article is a dissertation project in progress paper. It shows the results of an empirical analysis of 74 publications in the fleld of automated ne- gotiations. The results show that most of the items (66) imply incomplete or uncertain information, but mainly related to the negotiation partner. Only 12 of them are related to the negotiation item. Despite the advantages of the argumentation-based negotiation (20, 45) there is no such model that implies incomplete or uncertain infor- mation related to the negotiation item. There is a need of research activities.
