Abstract
We formalize negotiations using logic programming with
consistency restoring rules (or CR-Prolog)
[Balduccini and Gelfond, 2003].
Our formulation deals with incomplete information, preferences, and
changing goals.
We assume that each agent is equipped with a
knowledge base for negotiation
which consists of a CR-program,
a set of possible assumptions,
and a set of ordered goals. We use the notion of an answer set
as a means to formalize
the basic notions of negotiation such
as proposal, response, negotiation, negotiation tree
(protocol), etc.
and discuss their properties.
