                 Tasks with Temporal and Precedence 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.  We have
  developed a testbed that allows us to study decision behaviors of
  agents in this context.  It can generate sets of tasks with known
  statistical attributes, formulate and submit requests for
  quotations, generate bids with well-defined statistics, and evaluate
  those bids according to a number of criteria.  Each of these
  processes is supported by an abstract interface and a series of
  pluggable modules with a large number of configuration parameters,
  and with data collection and analysis tools. ",
