   The Electronic Negotiation Group

The Electronic Negotiation Group has been funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG) since 2003.
The group leader is Prof. Dr. Mareike Schoop. Dipl.-Wirt. Inform. Frank Köhne and Dipl.-Inform. Dirk Staskiewicz are the two PhD students currently working in the group. In addition, several student assistants are involved  in our project.

Our main goal is to develop comprehensive empirical and formal foundations for supporting human users in electronic commerce negotiations. In our current project, the three prominent negotiation models (namely negotiation support, auctions, and negotiation agents) will be assessed and compared. The aim is to develop a decision support module that suggests the most appropriate model or combination of models in a given business context. Selected systems implementing one of the negotiation models will be combined into an integrated negotiation module that enables negotiations according to the suggestions of the decision support module. The approach will be validated through the development of a significant prototype system of electronic negotiation 
with decision support and its evaluation in cooperation with industrial partners in regional networks of small and medium-sized enterprises.

   Research areas

Our main research interest is in electronic negotiations. In particular, we are concerned with enabling
complex electronic negotiations between human users that can be supported in their decisions. In contrast
to other dominant models aiming at automating the negotiation process, our approach offers process support
but leaves the final decisions in the hand of the experts, i.e. the users themselves.
To this end, we are concerned with negotiation theory, communication modelling, document management, 
human-computer interaction, and decision support.

You will find the individual research interests in our short bios.
