Modeling Agent Institutions

چکیده
Everyday uses of the notion of institution and some typical institutions have been studied and formalized by economists and philosophers. Borrowing from these everyday understandings, and influenced by their formalizations, the notion of institution has been used within the agents community to model and implement a variety of socio-technical systems. Their main purpose is to enable and regulate the interaction among autonomous agents in order to achieve some collective endeavour. In this chapter we present and compare three frameworks for agent-based institutions (i) ANTE, a model that considers electronic institutions as computational realizations of adaptive artificial environments for governing multi-agent interactions; (ii) OCeAN, extended in MANET, a model for specifying Artificial Institutions (AIs), situated in agent environments, which can be used in the design and Nicoletta Fornara Università della Svizzera italiana, via G.

Simulation of The Impact of Income Distribution on Social Unrest Using Agent-based Modeling Approach
Abstract Poverty and various forms of inequality, including class, gender, racial, and ethnic inequalities, are caused by imbalances of power relations and make society prone to social instability and unrest; Inequalities that are by-products of the growing power imbalances between the rich and the poor. The problems of poverty and inequality are inextricably linked to powerful economic and p...
متن کاملEvaluating the Performance of an Ambidextrous Bank Using an Agent-based Modeling Approach: A Case Study of Sepah Bank
Banks are the financial institutions that collect assets from various sources and allocate them to the sectors that require liquidity. Therefore, banks are an inherent element in the system of every country. As private banks enter financial markets, the demand for diverse banking services increases dramatically. Banks seek to use various techniques to improve their performance in attracting cus...
متن کاملModel Checking Norms and Sanctions in Institutions
In this paper we enrich FIEVeL (a modelling language for institutions amenable to model checking) with new constructs to describe norms and sanctions. Moreover, we present a specification language to reason about the effectiveness of norms and sanctions in shaping agent interactions. Finally we show that when properties of artificial institutions reflect certain interpretations of norms of huma...
متن کاملThe Role of Institutions in Multiagent Systems
The development of open multiagent systems presupposes not only a standard Agent Communication Language and common conversation protocols, but also some kind of social framework within which agent interactions can be carried out. To account for such a social framework we propose a suitable construct, that we call an institution, imposing role-dependent authorizations and interaction rules on gr...

Two approaches have been advocated for the design and modeling of (social) norms in multi agent systems: in the coordination strategy, multi agent systems are defined as a set of entities regulated by mechanisms of social order and created by more or less autonomous actors to achieve common goals; in the cooperation strategy, agents model specific roles in the society and interact with each oth...
