  abstract =	 {Negotiation is essential in settings where
                  autonomous agents have conflicting interests and a
                  desire to cooperate. For this reason, mechanisms in
                  which agents exchange potential agreements according
                  to various rules of interaction have become very
                  popular in recent years as evident, for example, in
                  the auction and mechanism design community. However,
                  a growing body of research is now emerging which
                  points out limitations in such mechanisms and
                  advocates the idea that agents can increase the
                  likelihood and quality of an agreement by exchanging
                  arguments which influence each others’ states. This
                  community further argues that argument exchange is
                  sometimes essential when various assumptions about
                  agent rationality cannot be satisfied. To this end,
                  in this article, we identify the main research
                  motivations and ambitions behind work in the
                  field. We then provide a conceptual framework
                  through which we outline the core elements and
                  features required by agents engaged in
                  argumentation-based negotiation, as well as the
                  environment that hosts these agents. For each of
                  these elements, we survey and evaluate existing
                  proposed techniques in the literature and highlight
                  the major challenges that need to be addressed if
                  argument-based negotiation research is to reach its
                  full potential.},
