Our proposal offers a novel solution incorporating an ontology, which serves as a shared vocabulary of negotiation messages; and a translation module that is executed on the occurrence of a misunderstanding. We implemented a service oriented

The results of the tests show that the proposed solution improves the interoperability between heterogeneous negotiation agents. Please use the following format when citing this chapter:
