Negotiation is a complex process. The decision making involved in several stages of negotiation makes its automation complex. In this paper we present a lifecycle model of a negotiation agent in which we identify the individual components that comprise automated negotiation and the interactions between those components. We present a survey of methods used in the automated negotiation literature fitting them to the components of our lifecycle model. While discussing the opponent modeling component, we present the taxonomy of opponent models. The lifecycle model is generic enough to accommodate most of the frameworks in the literature. To this end we fit the methods used in some of the automated negotiation frameworks in the literature to the lifecycle.

谈判是一个复杂的过程。谈判的多个阶段所涉及的决策使其自动化变得复杂。在本文中，我们提出了协商代理的生命周期模型，其中我们确定了组成自动协商的各个组件以及这些组件之间的交互。我们对自动协商文献中使用的方法进行了调查，以使其适合我们的生命周期模型的各个组成部分。在讨论对手建模组件时，我们介绍了对手模型的分类法。生命周期模型足够通用，可以容纳文献中的大多数框架。为此，我们将文献中某些自动协商框架中使用的方法与生命周期相匹配。
