Evaluating Software Architectures: Methods and Case Studies
TLDR
The ATAM-A Method for Architecture Evaluation focuses on using Quality Attribute Characterizations in the ATAM to evaluate Architecture as a Reusable, Transferable Abstraction of a System.
Exception handling in agent systems
TLDR
This paper proposes an alternative approach based on a shared exception handling service that is "plugged", with little or no customization, into existing agent systems, and claims that this approach offers simplified agent development as well as more effective and easier to modify exception handling behavior.

Auctions and bidding: A guide for computer scientists
TLDR
This article surveys the literature on auctions from a computer science perspective, primarily from the viewpoint of computer scientists interested in learning about auction theory, and provides pointers into the economics literature for those who want a deeper technical understanding.

Negotiating Complex Contracts
TLDR
A simulated annealing based approach appropriate for negotiating such complex contracts is described, its efficacy is evaluated, and potentially promising avenues for future work are suggested.

A Knowledge-based Approach to Handling Exceptions in Workflow Systems
TLDR
This approach is based on exploiting ageneric and reusable body of knowledge concerning what kinds of exceptions can occur in collaborative work processes and how these exceptions can handled.

Protocols for Negotiating Complex Contracts
TLDR
A simulated annealing-based approach, a refined version based on a parity-maintaining annealed mediator, and an unmediated version of the negotiation protocol are proposed.

How to Harvest Collective Wisdom on Complex Problems: An Introduction to the MIT Deliberatorium
TLDR
This paper will describe the efforts the authors have made to explore large-scale argumentation systems, giving an overview of the key underlying concepts, the ways they have translated these concepts into a working system (the MIT Deliberatorium), and the experiences they have had evaluating this system in a range of contexts.

Multi-issue Negotiation Protocol for Agents: Exploring Nonlinear Utility Spaces
TLDR
This paper proposes a negotiation protocol where agents employ adjusted sampling to generate proposals, and a bidding-based mechanism is used to find social-welfare maximizing deals that substantially outperforms existing methods in large non-linear utility spaces like those found in real world contexts.

Toward high-precision service retrieval
TLDR
A novel service retrieval approach is introduced that captures service semantics using process models, and applies a pattern-matching algorithm to find the services with the behavior the user wants.
