Formalising Situatedness and Adaptation in Electronic Institutions
[chapter]
2009
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
This paper suggests a solution consisting of two EI extensions to incorporate situatedness and adaptation to the institution. ...
Similarly to institutions in human societies, Electronic Institutions (EI) provide structured frameworks for Multi-Agent Systems (MAS) to regulate agents' interactions. ...
Conclusions and Future work In this paper, we focus on dening adaptation and situatedness for Electronic Institutions (EI). ...

Formal ReSpecT in the A&A Perspective
2007
Electronical Notes in Theoretical Computer Science
In particular, we take the ReSpecT language for programming the behaviour of tuple centres [15, 25] and its formal model [14] , and discuss its re-formulation in the A&A framework. ...
Coordination models and languages have found a new course in the context of MAS (multiagent systems). ...
This paper owes a lot to a number of brilliant people that have worked with me on ReSpecT in the last decade: mostly, Marco Venuti, Antonio Natali, Enrico Denti, and Alessandro Ricci. ...

Agency, design and 'slow democracy'
2015
Time & Society
In this context, and in an effort to rebuild the debate on a stronger and more fruitful base, the article underscores the potential of political agency to shape democracy's temporality, and reframes 'slow ...
Can democracy be resilient in an increasingly 'high-speed society'? Social acceleration, some critics argue, poses a serious threat to the idea and practice of democracy. ...
Consider the citizens' initiative and referendum, deliberative policy forums, electronic town meetings, participatory budgeting, autonomous associative governance, or even formalised procedures for delay ...
