Research on Design and Implementation of Collaborative Negotiation Protocol

Negotiation protocol serves as theoretical basis for negotiation system design. This paper first explores a method of negotiation protocol description. This method is able to control the state of each negotiation by using switch between state and transition. And then use of multiple concurrent state diagrams is suggested for collaborative negotiation to coordinate and control multiple negotiation processes through swimlane event and information flow, in addition to an in-depth study of design and implementation of collaborative negotiation protocol.
