Abstract

We propose an agent-based model, MNegoti, for simulating multilateral negotiation process, which can be naturally employed in group decision support system. This model can also be applied to any use case in which negotiation is involved, in order to simulate the negotiation process. In this report, we discuss the implementation of the MNegoti model on the basis of the agent-based simulation platform, Repast Simphony. It is worth pointing out that this model can be used to create a java module for any use of agent-based negotiation simulation.
