Abstract :
A framework to integrate negotiation capabilities-particularly components implementing a negotiation strategy-into mobile agents is introduced. The framework is based on a plug-in mechanism enabling a dynamic composition of negotiating agents from pluggable modules. Strategy modules are further decomposed into parallel execution units based on the notion of an actor system
