A contracting model for flexible distributed scheduling
We are interested in building systems of autonomous agents that can automate routine information processing activities in human organizations.

متن کاملProject Contracting Strategies for Managing Team Dynamics
In this chapter we study a team dynamic problem in which a group of agents collaborate over time to complete a project. The project progresses at a rate that depends on the agents’ e↵orts, and it generates a payo↵ upon completion. First, we show that agents work harder the closer the project is to completion, and members of a larger team work harder than members of a smaller team both individua...

We introduce a repeated lender-borrower interaction that allows for debt and equity financing to co-exist as optimal securities in every period. The presence of asymmetric information in the market for loans is responsible for endogenous fluctuations to take place.It is possible to state sufficient condi...
متن کاملIntegration of a flexible network in a resource contracting framework
In this paper we overview the integration of a framework that generically manages the system resources in the form of contracts, namely the FRESCOR framework, with a flexible network resource. We describe how a network resource, namely FTT-SE, supports the FRESCOR framework services and, likewise, how the network services are made available to the application through the contracting framework.
