Enacting and Deacting Roles in Agent Programming
نویسندگان
چکیده
In the paper we study the dynamics of roles played by agents in multiagent systems. We capture role dynamics in terms of four operation performed by agents: ‘enactment’, ‘deactment’, ‘activate’, and ‘deactivate’. The use of these operations are motivated, in particular for open systems. A formal semantics for these operations are provided. This formalization is aimed at serving as a basis for implementation of role dynamics in an agent programming language such as 3APL.

On Programming Organization-Aware Agents
Since it is difficult (or even impossible) to assume anything about the agents’ behavior and goals in an open multi-agent system, it is often suggested that an organization is imposed upon the agents, whichhich, by abstracting away from the agents, specifies boundaries and objectives that the agents, by enacting roles, are expected to adhere to. In practice, this is usually done by creating a m...
متن کاملRoles in Coordination and in Agent Deliberation: A merger of concepts
In this paper we generalize and merge two models of roles used in multiagent systems which address complementary aspects: enacting roles and communication among roles in an organization or institution. We do this by proposing a metamodel of roles and specializing the metamodel to fit two existing models. We show how the two approaches can be integrated since they deal with complementary aspects...

متن کاملThe Most Prominent Theta Roles in the Sindhi Language: The Hierarchy
Abstract This paper focuses on the most prominent theta roles used in the Sindhi language. The study attempts to answer to the research question, ‘How are theta roles prominently used in the Sindhi language?’ The data come from the young native Sindhi speakers. Each verb phrase in the data is examined with the help of Carnie’s (2007) ‘Theta Roles and Thematic Relations’ in order to find the pro...
