IV IV certain extent. Based on the proposed single-issue negotiation mechnism, a bilateral simultanous automated multi-issue negotiation mechnism is proposed. Similarly, in the multi-issue bargaining protocol, both agents simultaneously offer by introducing a nonbiased mediator. In this paper, all negotiated issues are divided into two categories: continous issues and discrete issues. The proposed model allows concurrent negotiation threads for accelerating the negotiation process. A combination of all discrete issues corresponds to a negotiation thread. In the context of each thread, both agents can only respond by varying the offers for the continous issues. The thread in which the agreement is reached first determines the final agreed result. Then a mathematical model is established by considering an individual dealer (Buyer) stocking to a supplier (Seller). In this model, both agents are not conflicting over the quantity issue, i.e., a Seller may desire a larger quantity but a Buyer doesn’t necessarily desire a smaller quantity. After establishing the utility function for both agents, we analyze how an agent can exploit the available information to select a strategy that maximizes its expected utility and give the optimal offer of each agent at each stage of the negotiation. Our proposed mechnism avoids the insufficiency of the traditional alternating-offer pattern, and both agents need not to reveal their preferences to the Mediator agent which meets the need of actual electronic marketplace. In order to test the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed negotiation mechnisms, an experimental study is carried out by using MATLAB tool. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed automated negotiation mechnisms are efficient in terms of several general evaluation criteria, which is desired for the negotiators. The proposed negotiation mechnisms avoids the insufficiency of the traditional alternating-offer pattern, and consider two situations contai
