An automatic negotiation method based on CBR and agent reasoning

The efficiency will be greatly improved in negotiation if negotiator is replaced by intelligent machine. In this paper, we propose an automatic negotiation method based on CBR and agent reasoning, a nearest-neighbor case matching method with commercial logic is utilized to make agent act with more intelligence. A prototype is implemented to provide automatic negotiation, and the experiments show the feasibility of the proposed approach.
