Automatic Negotiation System Based on Fuzzy Similarity Function

This paper puts forward an electronic commercial oriented automatic negotiation system based on the fuzzy similarity function. In each period of negotiation, agent concedes according to certain rules. On condition of assuring the required utility, agent tries search for an offer which is the most similar to the offer given by the opponent in the last period. The effectiveness of the method is tested by comparing it with Zeuthen strategy, which is the typical and theoretical result in principled negotiation. The enffluence of some parameters of the algorithm is given at the end of the paper.
