Designing negotiation agents for automated negotiating agents competition (ANAC) by Chen, Kevin Xian Fa

“…XianFaAgent takes an exploitative stance at the start of a negotiation session and estimates the opponent’s concessive behavior to make adjustments on how much it should concede. XianFaAgent also bases its own concessive function based on the degree of similarity of preferences amongst the competing agents, ensuring that it is not short-change of too much utility in cases where optimal social welfare can be achieved. …”
