Abstract :
The evolution of e-marketplaces calls for negotiation support for electronic transactions. A negotiation mechanism based on reservation price reporting (RPR) mechanism is proposed to facilitate effective negotiation support mechanisms in e-marketplaces. The decision support extension and multi-issue and multi-party extension of the RPR mechanism are developed to enhance the applicability of RPR mechanisms. A finite state machine model is employed in the design of negotiation agents to implement the RPR-based mechanisms. Preliminary experiment proved that the proposed mechanisms and corresponding implementations are effective and feasible for negotiation in e-marketplaces.
