摘要：

This article presents a task allocation protocol that is efficient in time and tolerates crash failures in multi-agent systems. The protocol is an extension of the negotiation protocol defined by Smith and Davis [ 25, 26] for task allocation. Our extension of the Contract Net Protocol ( 1) enables an agent to manage several negotiation processes in parallel; ( 2) optimizes the length of the negotiation processes among agents; ( 3) reduces the contractors' decommitment situations; ( 4) enables the detection of failures of an agent participating in a negotiation process and prevents a negotiation process with blocked agents.
