Abstract
This paper reports on a system for automated agent negotiation. The negotiation strategies are expressed in defeasible logic, and are applied using the implemented reasoning system DR-DEVICE. The overall system architecture is described, and a particular 1-1 negotiation scenario is presented in detail.
