Incrementally Refined Acquaintance Model for Consortia Composition

This paper presents a specific contracting algorithm that contributes to the process of distributed planning and resource allocation in competitive, semi-trusted environments. The presented contraction algorithm is based on incrementally refined acquaintance models (IRAM) of the actor that provide the right set of approximate knowledge needed for appropriate task decomposition and delegation. This paper reports on empirical evaluation of the IRAM algorithm deployment in consortia formation domain.
