Inter-organizational networks of people, information and communication systems are often described by the interplay between
individual goals and actions and the strategic dependencies among individuals and subgroups. Our research aims at improving
requirements engineering for such networks by not just representing these goals and dependencies statically, but also by studying
the dynamic interactions between both. In previous work, we proposed the prototype environment SNet for the representation
and dynamic evaluation of agent-based designs for inter-organizational networks. A key feature of SNet was the automatic translation
of extended i* models into the action language ConGolog. While this allowed the simulation of agent networks specified in
i*, the resulting agents were purely reactive, which limits the usefulness of the system, in particular as a decision-support
tool for network members, who need to evaluate the utility of different courses of action. In this paper we propose to remedy
the situation by explicitly incorporating deliberation into the agent design of SNet. At the level of i*, deliberation is
represented in terms of goals which are satis.able by different tasks or agents. Utilities are modeled, in part, using the
existing concept of softgoals, which are given a quantitative interpretation. At the level of ConGolog, decision-theoretic
features are built into the interpreter, which drives the simulations, and the process of delegating tasks to other agents
is explicitly represented.
