Abstract
There are situations where an agent needs to compose several services together to achieve its goals. Moreover, if these goals should be fulfilled before a deadline, the problem of service composition become more complex. In this paper a multi-agent framework is presented to deal with service composition considering service execution time taking into account the availability and the workload of the agent that offers the service.
