Protocols for Negotiation in literature 

•    Negotiation in multi-agent systems (dynamic and open environments)        

•    However the principles suggested by Rosenchein et al w. r. t automated negotiation apply

        to closed and semi-closed environments, by which we mean those in which there is no

        possibility of feedback to improve the system

•    Hence recently protocols that have looked at applying automated negotiation in dynamic

        and open environments

•    Dastani et al propose a methodology for constructing flexible negotiation protocols based

        on joint actions and dialogue games

        Key Idea:

        Even though negotiating agents may have competing interests, they share

        a common goal to coordinate their actions and in order to represent coordinated actions

        they use partial representations called recipes, specifically, dialogue games.

        Empirical evidence of this is that studies of human dialogue show frequently recurring

        patterns of dialogue acts.

        Hence patterns are described by the rules of a dialogue game.
