Abstract. Agent-mediated e-commerce is rapidly emerging as a new paradigm to develop business intelligent systems. Such systems are built upon the foundations of agent technology with a strong emphasis on the automated negotiation capabilities. In this paper, we address negotiation problems where agreements must resolve several different attributes. We propose a one-to-many multi-issue negotiation model based on the Pareto optimal theory. The proposed model is capable of processing agents' preferences and arriving to an optimal solution from a set of alternatives by ranking them according to the score that they achieved. We present our prototype system architecture, together with a discussion of the underlying negotiation framework. We then illustrate on our implementation efforts using the JADE and Eclipse platform. Our concluding remarks and possible further work are presented.

“…Let us think, for instance, of an MVC-based solution for an automatic price negotiation proposed in [25]. The authors suggest we use a production knowledge base with an inference engine as a Model, while the generated HTML pages are Views and a mediator component is a Controller (see Figure 1).…”

“…1. The MVC design pattern and the price negotiation system class diagram [25] we still have to change the knowledge base), the View (in order to be compatible with another ontology serving us as a dictionary of concepts used for production rules) as well as the Controller (since the model interface has to be updated in order to be compatible with that new ontology). 2) Changeability: during the evolution the price negotiation domain description changes significantly: temporal aspects are added to the price negotiation rules similar to "if a seller decreased the price on a small value followed by decreasing the price on a medium value then ...".…”

“…After the analysis of a series of existing expert system implementations, we realized that there are two basic approaches to define a Model interface: 1) Expert system domain aware model interface: There are interface methods directly connected to the subject domain as it is implemented in work [25] (e.g. setPriceHigh in the example of automated price negotiation on the web).…”

Abstract-This paper focuses on a generalized approach to providing user interface to a web-based expert system (WBES). We examine MVC and MVP design patterns used traditionally to construct a web application user interface. In order to leverage the strength of the MVC/MVP design patterns we propose a special ontology representing a user communication domain. We describe a self-service networked infrastructure for automatic deployment of command line interface (CLI) applications. We demonstrate how to apply the proposed ontology for the design of a WBES aimed at supporting client software re-execution in clouds. In particular, we address the problems existing in the area of software development for music information retrieval algorithms implementation.

“…Additionally, the design of negotiation strategies has been studied from several perspectives [6,8,15]. Particularly, Rahwan et al [20] determine that a negotiation strategy may be defined as a rule or algorithm which specifies what the agent should utter and when, in a particular negotiation interaction.…”
