Presents a testbed for using combinatorial auctions in the presence of scheduling constraints.

Abstract: We are interested in supporting multi-agent contracting, in which customer agents solicit the resources and capabilities of other, self-interested agents in order to accomplish their goals. Goals may involve the execution of multi-step tasks, in which different tasks are contracted out to different suppliers. (Update)
