Description Logics for Multi-Issue Bilateral Negotiation with Incomplete Information

Abstract

We propose a framework for multi-issue bilateral negotiation, where issues are expressed and related to each other via De-scription Logics. Agents ’ goals are expressed through (com-plex) concepts, and the worth of goals as weights over con-cepts. We adopt a very general setting with incomplete in-formation by letting agents keep both goals and worths of goals as private information. We introduce a negotiation pro-tocol for such a setting, and discuss different possible strate-gies that agents can adopt during the negotiation process. We show that such a protocol converges, if the Description Logic used enjoys the finite implicants property.
