Allocating goals and planning responsibility in dynamic sensible agent organizations

A multi-agent system (MAS) can be viewed as a group of entities interacting to achieve individual or collective goals. Communication is a central issue in this interaction between agents. This paper uses the COOL language to define an extended version of the contract net protocol to address issues in one particular MAS-sensible agents. The proposed implementation of our protocol and its use in the sensible agent testbed is also discussed.
