1525 bilateral negotiations were conducted over the Internet via the negotiation support system Inspire. In 53% of the cases the negotiations were successful and the parties achieved a compromise. The data about/from these negotiations is studied here in order to determine the underlying reasons for successful negotiations. Due to the size of the dataset the knowledge discovery process is modified allowing for the testing and comparison of the methods' predictive accuracy.
