Abstract
We present an initial comparative evaluation between monotonic mixing and the traditional linear weighted combination of tactics in a multi-issue negotiation scenario. As the traditional mixing method may produce a non-monotonic sequence of utilities of proposed offers in case imitative and non-imitative tactics are mixed together (even when weights are static) we demonstrate that both agents can gain higher utilities in many scenarios when using monotonic mixing.
