Abstract

The ANTE framework encompasses results of research efforts on three main agreement technology concepts, namely negotiation, normative environments and computational trust. ANTE has been conceived as a general framework with a wide range of applications in mind. This chapter provides an overview of the main guidelines of this project, and explores two application domains for this framework: automated B2B electronic contracting, and disruption management in the context of an airline company operational control.
