A critical challenge to creating effective open multiagent systems is allowing them to operate effectively in the face of potential failures. In this paper we present an experimental evaluation of a set of domain-independent services designed to handle the failure modes (驴exceptions驴) that can occur in such environments, applied to the well-known 驴Contract Net驴 multi-agent system coordination protocol. We show that these services can produce substantially more effective fault handling behavior than standard existing techniques, while allowing simpler agent implementations.
