Abstract: So far, most distributed scheduling systems have been designed for cooperative
agents, and are inappropriate for self-interested agents, which exist for example
in inter-firm interactions such as virtual enterprises. This paper discusses
issues that arise in extending the Contract Net Protocol to operate among such
self-interested agents whose rationality is bounded by combinatorial complexity.
The new protocol allows varying the stage of commitment for flexibility
in the contracting... (Update)
