Incorporating Uncertainty in Agent Commitments - Xuan, Lesser (2000) (8 citations) (Correct)
....uncertainty and plan for possible future events such as failure or de commitment. Also, a number of approaches have been proposed to handle this particular type of uncertainty, such as using a leveled commitments contracting protocol [13] and using option pricing schemes for evaluating contracts [14]. There is still another form of uncertainty caused by the partial knowledge of the offering agent regarding the agent who needs this commitment. Namely, how important or useful the commitment is to the receiving agent, and when the commitment would be not very useful to the receiving agent To ....

Query Restart Strategies for Web - Agents Prasad Chalasani Self-citation (Sycara) (Correct)
....if an agent A delegates an informationretrieval task to agent B, the two agents enter into a contract: agent A agrees to pay agent B a certain fee for B s services. Most current work on multi agent contracts considers contracts as binding. There has been a growing interest in contingent contracts [9], which can offer each party several agreed upon flexibilities. For instance the querying agent may be allowed to abort the query (and perhaps send it to another agent) if the query answering agent takes more than some agreed upon time to answer a query. Such flexible contracts have been shown to ....
