Abstract: This paper presents and discusses an automated contracting mechanism for load distribution in multienterprise environments. Within each enterprise, tasks are allocated by a multi-agent system whose agents develop cooperative processes in order to determine the best nodes for execution. When profitable, a negotiation process is started as a way to select a remote enterprise to execute a specific task. The use of a dynamic organizational structure, the concepts of resource oriented contract and... (Update)
