In a Combined Negotiation (CN), the user, be it a consumer or a company, is interested in a package of items (goods or services), and consequently engages in negotiations for all the items at the same time. The negotiations are independent of each other, whereas the items are typically interdependent. Using currently available e-negotiation support technology, the user would have to conduct each negotiation separately, and would have the burden of coordinating and reconciling them.

520 $a In a Combined Negotiation (CN), the user, be it a consumer or a company, is interested in a package of items (goods or services), and consequently engages in negotiations for all the items at the same time. The negotiations are independent of each other, whereas the items are typically interdependent. Using currently available e-negotiation support technology, the user would have to conduct each negotiation separately, and would have the burden of coordinating and reconciling them.
520 $a In this doctoral research we introduce and define CNs; point to their challenges; identify the research issues they raise; and suggest, design, implement, and validate a software solution to conduct them. The solution takes the form of a Combined Negotiation Support System (CNSS) that a human can use to: (1) find the items and the providers of these items; (2) build a CN model that captures the sequencing of the individual negotiations and the dependencies between them; (3) provide negotiation strategies and coordination schemes; and (4) run the model, and possibly intervene in it when necessary.
520 $a We designed an architecture for a CNSS we call CONSENSUS. The driving idea behind it is: (1) a workflow that captures the sequencing and the control flow of the CN; (2) software agents that carry out the individual negotiations; (3) if-then rules to provide the agents with negotiation strategies; and (4) if-then rules to manage agent coordination across several negotiations. Workflow technology brings a high level of reliability; software agents bring automation; and if-then rules provide modularity, uniformity, to modify the knowledge dynamically. An important challenge was to allocate functionalities to the four components (workflow, agents, strategies, and coordination) in a clean an optimal way.
520 $a We implemented CONSENSUS and used it to model and enact several simple and complex CN cases. We used our negotiation server GNP to implement, deploy, and run several negotiation types, and used them as CN nodes. The results were satisfying. We used the same setting to conduct bidding tournaments to show that a declarative representation can be used to provide software agents with simple bidding tactics and coordination schemes. The results were encouraging, and the experimentation setting can be used for further investigations regarding the representation mechanism itself, or for the evaluation of known and newly designed negotiation strategies.
