Requirements driven agent collaboration

This paper proposes the requirements driven agent collaboration. This proposal assumes that there are plenty different service agents distributed in Internet. When a request for accomplishing a particular task occurs, these autonomous agents can recognize the newly emergent requirements and dynamically aggregate together to compete with others for fulfilling the requirements. This paper presents a preliminary framework for the requirement driven agent collaboration based on the automated mechanism design.
