Abstract
Negotiation is one approach for coordinating agents in a competitive environment where agents have conflicting interests. This paper presents a model of multi-agent negotiation that allows agents to carry out negotiations progressively. We also find that there are predictable trends between various settings in the negotiation process and the negotiation outcomes, the result of which could help agent designers to find satisfying strategies instead of finding costly optimal strategies.
