Protocols for Negotiating Complex Contracts
Work to date on negotiation protocols has focused on defining contracts consisting of one or a few independent issues. Many real-world contracts, by contrast, are much more complex, consisting of multiple inter-dependent issues and intractably large contract spaces. This paper describes a simulated annealing based approach appropriate for negotiating such complex contracts that achieves near-op...

متن کاملToward a Declarative Language for Negotiating Executable Contracts
We give an approach to automating the negotiation of business contracts. Our goal is to develop a language for both partially-specified contracts that are in the midst of being negotiated, including via automated auctions. Our starting point for this language is Courteous Logic Programs (CLP’s), a form of logic-based knowledge representation (KR) that is semantically declarative, intuitively na...
