For many multi-agent scenarios one can assume that the agents behave cooperatively and contribute to a common goal according to their design. However, our work focuses on competitive scenarios which are characterized by the agents' strong local interests, their high degree of autonomy, and the lack of global goals. Therefore, two agents will cooperate if, and only if, both will gain --- or at least expect to gain --- from that cooperation.

Its main issue is the integration of negotiation strategies in a distributed scheduling scenario. The basic ideas of the conflict resolution are a two-stage mechanism for the generation of counter-proposals within the course of a negotiation and a script representation for strategies. 1 Introduction In contrast to multi-agent settings which follow a fully cooperative model, there are scenarios with quite different qu...
