In this paper we present a meta strategy that combines two negotiation tactics. The first one based on concessions, and the second one, a trade-off tactic. The goal of this work is to demonstrate by experimental analysis that the combination of different negotiation tactics allows agents to improve the negotiation process and as a result, to obtain more satisfactory agreements. The scenario proposed is based on two agents, a buyer and a seller, which negotiate over four issues. The paper presents the results and analysis of the meta strategy's behaviour.
20 pagesInternational audienceThis paper presents how extraction, representation and use of symbolic knowledge from real-world perception and human-robot verbal and non-verbal in-teraction can actually enable a grounded and shared model of the world that is suitable for later high-level tasks such as dialogue understanding. We show how the anchoring process itself relies on the situated nature of human-robot interactions. We present an integrated approach, including a specialized symbolic knowledge representation system based on Description Logics, and case studies on several robotic platforms that demonstrate these cognitive capabilities
