Social rules for agent systems
[article]
2021
arXiv
pre-print
Preserved Fulltext
Other Versions
When creating (open) agent systems it has become common practice to use social concepts such as social practices, norms and conventions to model the way the interactions between the agents are regulated ...
Therefore there is hardly any research on how these social concepts relate and when each of them emerges or evolves from another concept. ...
Introduction In the last twenty years several social rules such as conventions, norms and recently also social practices, rituals and habits have been used to model agent behaviour in multi-agent systems ...

Abstract This paper proposes a rule language for defining social expectations based on a metric interval temporal logic with past and future modalities and a current time binding operator. ...
An algorithm for run-time monitoring compliance of rules in this language based on formula progression is also presented. ...

Normative multiagent systems provide agents with abilities to autonomously devise societies and organizations coordinating their behavior via social norms and laws. ...
First individual agents or their representatives negotiate social goals, then a social goal is negotiated in a social norm, and finally the social norm is accepted by the agents when it leads to fulfilment ...

The paper focuses on the design of multiagent systems and argues that traditional approaches fall short when dealing with complex multiagent systems. ...
On this basis, this paper shows how an approach based on coordination models can help in the design of multiagent systems. ...
Accordingly, the social issue of a multiagent system should be accounted for since the earliest design phases, and social rules and collective behaviour should be the subjects of a separate design phase ...

Distributed mechanisms that regulate the behavior of autonomous agents in open multi-agent systems (MAS) are of high interest since we cannot employ centralized approaches relying on global knowledge. ...
To this end we propose a computational self-adapting mechanism that facilitates agents to distributively evolve their social behavior to reach the best social conventions. ...

We formalize the social delegation cycle by formalizing goal generation as a merging process of the individual agent desires, we formalize norm creation as a planning process for both the obligation and ...
In this paper we consider the relation between desires and obligations in normative multiagent systems. ...
For example, quantification over rules means that it is schema: there is a set of rules, one for each agent involved. Since the set of agents A is finite, we are still in propositional logic. ...
