48, A Multi-Agent Resource Negotiation for the Utilitarian Social Welfare

Very good point about compensatory side payments (and limits of agent budgets) on page 4 (Section 2 - Transaction).

Also, good summary of Toumas Sandholm's peer-to-peer negotiation work (rational and non-rational sequences of transactions, optima, etc) on page 4 (Section 2.1 - Convergence).

Nice conclusion to return back to.
