Game theory is a useful set of tools that can be used by designers of electronic-commerce applications in analyzing and engineering of automated agents and communication protocols. The central theoretical concept used in game theory is the Nash equilibrium. In this article, I show how the outcomes supported by a Nash equilibrium can positively be enlarged using automated negotiations.}, number={3}, journal={AI Magazine}, author={Vulkan, Nir}, year={2002}, month={Sep.}, pages={101} }
