Abstract: An important aspect in multi-agent cognitive systems is being able to provide negotiation facilities to agents. In this article we deal with this problem by presenting a formal environment allowing to specify preferences. Moreover, our framework describes how to perform exchanges among the entities involved in the system. The exchanges are not restricted to material goods, as we introduce capabilities to deal with intangible goods. The description of the system is formalized by using a simple process algebra that allows dealing with entities organized in a hierarchical way.
