Abstract

An automated negotiation environment, in which agents employ dierent bargaining strategies is described. During
negotiation, as more information is exchanged in the negotiation rounds, the agents can change the preferences for certain attributes
of the negotiation object. The multi-agent system is developed for a real estate agency business model and several use cases scenarios,
using intelligent software agents, are implemented.
