A general framework for sound assumption-based argumentation dialogues
Xiuyi Fan,Francesca Toni +1 more
TL;DR: A formal model for argumentation-based dialogues between agents, using assumption-based argumentation (ABA) as the underlying argumentation framework is proposed, which proves a formal connection between dialogues and three well-known argumentation semantics by giving soundness results for the authors' dialogue models with respect to these semantics.
Book ChapterDOI
Norm-Oriented Programming of Electronic Institutions: A Rule-Based Approach
TL;DR: In this paper, a rule-based formalism is proposed to specify and explicitly manage the normative positions of agents (permissions, prohibitions and obligations), with which distinct deontic notions and their relationships can be captured.
Book
Modelling and Controlling of Behaviour for Autonomous Mobile Robots
TL;DR: Hendrik Skubch presents a solution, ALICA (A Language for Interactive Cooperative Agents) which combines modelling techniques drawn from different paradigms in an integrative fashion, allowing for complex cooperative behaviour to be specified in a concise, theoretically well-founded manner.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Service Level Agreement Management with Adaptive Coordination
TL;DR: This paper presents an approach to adaptive coordination between customers requesting service via an SLA, and the provider who owns and provisions network resources, by deploying a set of software agents capable of automating negotiation between these parties.
Journal ArticleDOI
Verifiable Self-Aware Agent-Based Autonomous Systems
Louise A. Dennis,Michael Fisher +1 more
TL;DR: This article leads from traditional systems architectures, via agent-based computing, to explainability, reconfigurability, and verifiability, and on to applications in robotics, autonomous vehicles, and machine ethics.

Journal ArticleDOI
Statistical physics of social dynamics
TL;DR: In this article, a wide list of topics ranging from opinion and cultural and language dynamics to crowd behavior, hierarchy formation, human dynamics, and social spreading are reviewed and connections between these problems and other, more traditional, topics of statistical physics are highlighted.
Journal ArticleDOI
Developing multiagent systems: The Gaia methodology
TL;DR: It is argued that a multiagent system can naturally be viewed and architected as a computational organization, and the appropriate organizational abstractions that are central to the analysis and design of such systems are identified.
Book
Programming Multi-Agent Systems in AgentSpeak using Jason (Wiley Series in Agent Technology)
TL;DR: The Jason Agent Programming Language as discussed by the authors is a programming language based on the BDI Agent Model that allows to define simulated environments and communicate with multiple agents in a BDI agent language.
Book ChapterDOI
Computational Intelligence: An Introduction
TL;DR: The general public becomes rapidly jaded with such ‘bold predictions’ that fail to live up to their original hype, and which ultimately render the zealots’ promises as counter-productive.
Journal ArticleDOI
Agent-based systems for manufacturing
TL;DR: The evolution of agent technologies and manufacturing will probably proceed hand in hand and the former can receive real challenges from the latter, which will have more and more benefits in applying agent technologies, presumably together with well-established or emerging approaches of other disciplines.
