| Abstract | Electronic negotiations have been an active research topic for many years. Most of the research work on this area focuses either on the abstract and theoretical models or on the system architectures for standalone negotiation applications. There is little work being done in identifying and studying practical algorithms for automated negotiations. In this thesis, the Multi Attribute Decision Analysis (MADA) method and algorithms for automated negotiation were researched and combined to build the Negotiation Support System. This system called Multiple Attribute Electronic Negotiation Support System (or MeNSS) can support negotiators in negotiating contracts including these common attributes: price, quantity, delivery time, guarantee time, deposit payment and return policy. As a decision support system, it can evaluate the offers, generate recommendation for the negotiators and exchange information between them. Offers are evaluated and recommendations are created based on its attributes' weight or importance, minimum and maximum values that negotiators can afford. MeNSS is not only the negotiation support system but also the information management system, which sellers can post their product information to and buyers can search the system's database to find suitable products and corresponding suppliers. The negotiation progresses are kept in the database and shown to the negotiators in both chart and text so that they can easily manage their negotiation progresses. With the purpose of supporting Internet users, and also to be suitable with the development of Electronic Commerce, the system was implemented as a web based application using Microsoft NET technologies so that people can use the application without any restrictions on neither time nor place |
