Abstract
Intelligent Agents can help users in finding and retrieving goods from electronic marketplaces. Additionally, agents can represent providers in such places facilitating the automatic negotiation about the purchase of products. In this paper, we describe a finite horizon bargaining model between buyers and sellers and we focus on the seller's side. Seller agents are a good example of an autonomous decentralized system. We present a method for the ‘bargaining’ deadline calculation based on Fuzzy-Logic (FL). Such deadline indicates the time for which it is profitable for a seller to participate in the bargaining procedure. We provide methods for automatic fuzzy rules generation. These rules result the deadline values at each interaction and are based on data provided by experts. We compare results taken from a Fuzzy controller based on such automatic methods with results taken by previous research efforts.
