Abstract: We present a computational model of planning, scheduling, and execution that is capable of supporting the interactions of a self-interested agent with other agents in a contracting environment over an extended period of time. The model is appropriate for situations in which a customer agent, in order to fulfill its goals, must contract with other supplier agents for all or part of the necessary tasks. The agents are assumed to be self-interested and with limited rationality. Supplier agents... (Update)
