ABSTRACT

We present mechanisms for the creation of strategies by mixing behaviour-dependent and -independent tactics in multi-issue negotiation. The traditional linear weighted combination of tactics may generate non-monotonic utilities over time even in the case of a monotonic series of opponent's offers. The proposed methods guarantee monotonic utilities, which can improve negotiation outcomes in many scenarios.
