ARG_FuzzySim: Concluding Failed Multilateral Argumentation-Based Negotiation

Abstract

In this paper, we propose a new model that gives a solution about the conflict of interests in a multiagent system, and thus to conclude a failed argumentation based negotiation (ABN). Baptized ARG_FuzzySim, our model starts from the past exchanged arguments and integrates the concept of fuzzy similarity to determine the most similar argument and subsequently, the final decision. Among the strong features of ARG_FuzzySim is its facility to implement and propose a solution for conflicting argumentative negotiation between two or several agents. Various applications based on different negotiation scenario show the practicability and the effectiveness of the suggested model.
