Abstract

Automated negotiation is a process in which autonomous agents negotiate with the opponents to achieve some specific purposes for their users, such as maximising the users’ benefits. CP-net is one of the most important representations of user preferences in automated negotiation due to its ability and flexibility to express interdependent relationship among issues. In order to be able to negotiate better on behalf of users, a negotiating agent needs to fully understand its user’s preferences, so that it can adopt suitable negotiation strategies and obtain ideal negotiation results. However, the preference information provided to the negotiating agents by the users is often incomplete. Hence, based on partial preference information provided, this paper proposes a module in negotiation framework to complete user total preferences that are represented by CP-nets. The experimental results show the validity of CP-nets structure learning algorithm in the proposed module and confirm that the module can help users achieve better agreements in negotiation.
