Computational Accountability in MAS Organizations with ADOPT

Computational Accountability in MAS Organizations with ADOPT

This work studies how the notion of accountability can play a key role in the design and realization of distributed systems that are open and that involve autonomous agents that should harmonize their own goals with the organizational goals. The socio–technical systems that support the work inside human companies and organizations are examples of such systems. The approach that is proposed in o...

Instrumenting Accountability in MAS with Blockchain

In this paper, we investigate a proposal where Blockchains could provide powerful tools for Multi Agent Systems. Specially regarding accountability, Blockchains could prove to be very useful tools for agents to reason upon contracts, commitments, responsibilities and so on. We list some possible approaches to integrate blockchains and Multi Agent Systems, by providing adequate abstractions and ...

Computational Accountability

Individual and organizational actions have social consequences that call for the implementation of recommendations of good conduct at multiple levels of granularity. This work focuses on the accountability value, on how to express it, and on the challenges of handling accountability in a computational way, in a system of interacting agents.

MAS Modeling Based on Organizations

An agent organization modelling is proposed based on four main concepts: organizational unit, service, environment and norm. Those concepts are integrated in ANEMONA meta-models, which are extended in order to include all entities needed for describing the structure, functionality, dynamicity, normativity and environment of an organization.
