Abstract
In this paper we present an application of temporal linear logic (TLL) to symbolic agent negotiation and reasoning. While linear logic gives us control over resources and agent capabilities during negotiation, TLL allows considering time issues as well. That allows us to construct more expressive offers, which would not be possible in linear logic only.
