<正> Inconsistency of multi-perspective requirements specifications is a pervasive issue duringthe requirements process.However,managing inconsistency is not just a pure technical problem.It isalways associated with a process of interactions and competitions among corresponding stakeholders.The main contribution of this paper is to present a negotiations approach to handling inconsistenciesin multi-perspective software requirements.In particular,the priority of requirements relative to eachperspective plays an important role in proceeding negotiation over resolving inconsistencies amongdifferent stakeholders.An algorithm of generating negotiation proposals and an approach to evaluatingproposals are also presented in this paper,respectively.
