Abstract
Recent years have seen an increasing interest of multiagent system research in employing the theory of argumentation for the development of communication protocols. While significant progress has been made in formalising argument-based communication,
(possibly adaptive) agent-level argumentation strategies as a practical integration of rational agent reasoning and inter-agent argumentation dialogues have received fairly little attention. In
this paper we propose the use of the InFFrA framework in argument-based negotiation. This framework allows for a strategic
and adaptive communication to achieve private goals within the limits of bounded rationality in open argumentation communities.
The feasibility of the approach is illustrated in an agent-based web linkage scenario, showing that its performance is comparable
to that of simple proposal-based negotiation while accommodating much stricter constraints regarding “what can be said” like
those used in argumentation.
