Preliminary Remarks "Why does there have to be a winner? Why can't you work on negotiation instead of argument?" -- Prof. Anne Johnstone* *"University of Maine assistant professor of computer science Anne Johnstone died of complications resulting from lung cancer on February 28, 1995. After completing her PhD [in Artificial Intelligence at the University of Edinburgh approx. 1990], Anne took a position as senior research associate in the computer science department at Washington University in St. Louis, and while there established a successful research program in natural language processing, funded by Southwestern Bell Technology Resources." (http://www.umcs.maine.edu/~larry/csdept/johnstone.html) **This invited talk is dedicated to the memory of my faculty colleague. A New Model of Negotiation Based on Pessimism and Punishment – R. P.
