  abstract =	 {We present a formal model of negotiation between
                  autonomous agents. The purpose of the negotiation is
                  to reach an agreement about the provision of a
                  service by one agent for another. The model defines
                  a range of strategies and tactics that agents can
                  employ to generate initial offers, evaluate
                  proposals and offer counter proposals. The model is
                  based on computationally tractable assumptions,
                  demonstrated in the domain of business process
                  management and empirically evaluated.},
