Adding a Declarative Representation of Negotiation Mechanisms to an Agent-Based Negotiation Service

Global agent-based e-business environments have been proposed to enable dynamic trading between business partners. In particular, negotiation is a necessary and important activity to allow engagement of business parties in non-trivial business relationships. In this note we present our proposal for introducing a high-level declarative representation of negotiation mechanisms to facilitate creation, instantiation and use of negotiation services in such a global environment.
