Abstract
Few existing policy generation models can reflect the fact that self-interested stockholders often need to interact when generating a set of policies acceptable to them all. To this end, this paper proposes a negotiation model for policy generation. In this model, each negotiating agent employs a fuzzy logic system to evaluate each policy in a proposal made by others during their negotiation, and then uses a uninorm operator to aggregate the evaluations of all the single policies in the proposal to gain an overall evaluation of the proposal. Moreover, different negotiating agent can use different fuzzy reasoning systems. Finally, we do some experiments to reveal some insights into our model.
