....the items across agents while C contracts and M contracts concentrated them on a few agents. Introduction The importance of automated negotiation systems is increasing as a consequence of the development of technology as well as increased application pull, e.g. electronic commerce (Kalakota Whinston 1996), electricity markets (Sandholm Ygge 1997) and transportation exchanges (Sandholm 1993) A central part of such systems is the ability to (re)allocate tasks (or analogously, other types of items, e.g. securities, bandwidth slices, Mega Watt hours of electricity, or collectibles) among the ....

....from others for handling their tasks minus the current value of the cost function, c i , minus payments sent to others for them to handle some of the former agent s tasks. This paper experimentally studies task reallocation among such agents using combinatorial contract types that were recently introduced (Sandholm 1993; 1996; 1998) to be used in contract nets (Smith 1980) The next section presents the application domain of the experiments. The different contract types and their use is described in the following section. Then evaluation criteria are discussed and the results are presented. The final section concludes ....
