Professors James Archibald and Wynn Stirling, along with graduate student Jared Hill and former undergraduate student Ryan Johnson, recently published the paper ""Satisficing Negotiations"" in the January 2006 issue of ""IEEE Transactions on Systems, Man, and Cybernetics, Part C."" The paper presents a theory of negotiation based on satisficing game theory which accommodates both cooperative and non-cooperative behavior, leading to effective solutions of challenging multi-agent problems.
