Negotiation in a multi-dimensional CBR system

Negotiation is a process of human communication, involving two parties, where each with his preconceived belief and objectives, trying to reach a mutually satisfactory result after exchanging and reconciling over matters. Negotiation can be computationally modeled using CBR techniques. The negotiators represent their negotiated terms as cases, either as a flat case or multi-dimensional case. We built the negotiation engine which performs negotiation on multi-dimensional case. This engine is built on Re-maker, a system which searches suitable partner by negotiating the differences in values specified by both negotiators. Episode strategy is the negotiation technique we adopt in our negotiation engine. The generic multi-dimensional CBR computation model for iterative matching in with negotiation is produced
