Abstract
The growing use of Information Technology in automated negotiation leads to an urgent need to find alternatives to traditional protocols. New tools from fields such as Artificial Intelligence (AI) should be considered in the process of developing novel protocols, in order to make the negotiation process simpler, faster and more realistic. This paper proposes a new framework based on both argumentation and Case-Based Reasoning (CBR) as means of guiding the negotiation process to a settlement. This paper proposes a new generic domain-independent framework that overcomes the limits of domain-dependent frameworks. The proposed framework was tested in tourism domain using real data.
