> Social Abstractions for Information Agents | By Michael N. Huhns and Munindar P. Singh, Intelligent Information Agents Magazine, 1999
This paper describes some social abstractions for agents that are centered around the notion of social commitments. It shows how they can be part of a practical architecture for information--rich environments, and can be applied to a range of interesting problems. It discusses two examples concerning electronic commerce and virtual enterprises, which were prototyped, albeit in a rather simple manner, using the above abstractions.

> Economic Markets as a Means of Open Mobile-Agent Systems | By Jonathan Bredin, David Kotz, and Daniela Rus, Workshop Mobile Agents in the Context of Competition and Cooperation at Autonomous Agents, 5/1/1999
They examine some restrictions typically present in mobile-agent systems. Specifically, few mobile-agent applications implement communication with agents from other applications or submitted by competing users. This shortfall might be surprising considering that agent technology is often advertised as a unifying design paradigm nurturing both cooperation and competition. They propose that mobile agents buy computational resources from their hosts using a scarce verifiable currency.
