Abstract:

This paper presents a preliminary study of the relevant issues on the
development of an automated mediation agent. The work is conducted within
the 'curious negotiator' framework [4]. Mediation, considered from a knowledge
perspective, is an information revelation process. The introduced formalism is
used to demonstrate how via revealing the appropriate information and changing
the understanding of the disputing parties mediation can succeed. Automating
mediation needs to take into account that mediation is a knowledge intensive
process, where the mediators utilise their past experiences and information from
negotiating parties to change the positions of negotiating parties.
