Abstract: Negotiation is essential in settings where agents have conflicting interests and a desire to cooperate. In many approaches, agents are assumed to have pre-set, xed preferences, and complete awareness of the space of possible outcomes. Such strong conditions are often not satised. In this paper, we argue that since preferences are adopted to pursue particular goals, one agent may in uence another agent's preferences by discussing the underlying motivations and interests behind adopting the associated goals. We identify concepts that seem essential for supporting this type of dialogue. In particular we demonstrate that arguing about beliefs needs to be complemented by arguing about goals, and we begin an analysis of dialogue moves involving goals.
