From the specification to the implementation of norms: an automatic approach to generate rules from norms to govern the behavior of agents
: Autonomous Agents and Multi-Agent Systems
In multiagent systems (MAS), autonomous agents have to follow norms. Usually, norms are defined in a mathematical language; here we see a method to transform norms into rules and...

Design for survivability: a tradeoff space
: CSIIRW 08
In this paper, Krings argues that mechanisms that aid survivability should be integrated in system design, instead of being treated as add-on features later on.
He defines a system as a composition...

Cognition and multi-agent interaction: from cognitive modeling to social simulation
While theories of cognition can be traced to antiquity, modern cognitive science is very much a child of the computer age. One powerful approach to studying cognition is to construct a computer model that embodies a theory, and to use it to explore...
