Negotiation Supporting System (NSS) will be a very important subsystem in the development of e-commerce. This study introduces the current research situation about NSS, stresses on the whole system architecture and key technologies, sets forth solution scheme about some important problem, such as multiparty cooperation text technology, inter-stream synchronization and designs a value-added service of knowing negotiation characteristic of rivals as well, by using which favorite type to negotiate in personal favor can be selected. The goal is to develop a NSS prototype and to test its feasibility in simulate environment. The implementation prototype system demonstrates fine performance relative to homogeneous procedure-driven-based NSS.]]>Bassil, S., M. Benyoucef, R. Keller and P.
