Design and Implementation of Electronic Negotiation Systems. Edition No. 1
VDM Publishing House, Aug 2009, Pages: 140
The rapid development of e-commerce raises the need of systems that support electronic negotiations. Recent work on negotiation support systems concentrates on Web-based negotiation support tools. For instance, Inspire, which supports bilateral online negotiations, contains a facility for specification of preferences and assessment of offers, an internal messaging system, and graphical displays of the negotiation’s progress. As these tools are mainly for teaching and research purposes, they are unusable in real-life situations such as negotiation structure dynamics. This book addresses some of these issues in designing and implementing e-negotiation systems. We apply the module-view-controller (MVC) design pattern and rapid application development (RAD). The negotiation protocol and its components are implemented in Invite system with a database-driven approach. A concrete and step-by-step illustration of a database-driven approach is given with a system to support practical negotiations. The approach and the system’s usability are tested within different contexts.
