Electronic negotiations can involve complex communication and decision processes if complex goods or service are involved. In such cases, an electronic negotiation support system (NSS) extended by a decision support (DS) component can provide valuable help for the users. However, since users have a bounded rationality, such complex processes will never be strictly linear nor rational. Therefore, there are a number of challenges that a DS method to be integrated into an NSS has to meet. This paper discusses the challenges and evaluates different methods for preference elicitation with respect to these challenges.
