Abstract :
We propose an extension of the negotiation protocol defined by Smith (1980) and Smith and Davis (1981) so as to meet the requirements of the cooperative systems. Our extension provides for an agent the possibility to apply for several tasks at the same time without running the risk of being penalized in case he breaks the contracts
