Integrating artificial intelligence, argumentation and game theory to develop an online dispute resolution environment

Current research in developing negotiation support systems focuses upon argumentation, artificial intelligence and game theory. These techniques are rarely used in tandem. We argue that truly intelligent negotiation support systems require the integration of such techniques. In this paper we integrate the argumentation techniques of Lodder and the combined artificial intelligence/game theory approach of Bellucci and Zeleznikow to develop an online negotiation support environment. © 2004 IEEE.
