Towards Runtime Support for Norm-Governed Multi-Agent Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a knowledge representation framework with an associated run-time support infrastructure that is able to compute, for the benefit of the members of a norm-governed multi-agent system, physically possible and/or permitted actions current at each time, as well as sanctions that should be applied to violations of prohibitions. Experimental results on a benchmark scenario indicate how by distributing norms we can provide run-time support to large-scale, norm-governed multi-agent systems.

Initial Steps Towards Run-Time Support for Norm-Governed Systems
We present a knowledge representation framework with an associated run-time support infrastructure that is able to compute, for the benefit of the members of a norm-governed multi-agent system, the physically possible and permitted actions current at each time, as well as sanctions that should be applied to violations of prohibitions. To offer the envisioned run-time support we use an Event Cal...
متن کاملDynamic Specifications for Norm-Governed Systems
We have been developing a framework for executable specification of norm-governed multi-agent systems. In this framework, specification is a design-time activity; moreover, there is no support for runtime modification of the specification. Due to environmental, social, or other conditions, however, it is often desirable, or even necessary, to alter the system specification during the system exe...
متن کاملAligning Models of Normative Systems and Artificial Societies: Towards norm-governed behavior in virtual enterprises
The purpose is to explore how norm-governed behavior within agent societies can be achieved in the context of Virtual Enterprises. We analyze a number of formal models from the agent research field, of which three models focus on the society aspects and three models focus on norms. A general observation is that the models reviewed are not concordant with each other and therefore require further...

متن کاملOptimization of majority protocol for controlling transactions concurrency in distributed databases by multi-agent systems
In this paper, we propose a new concurrency control algorithm based on multi-agent systems which is an extension of majority protocol. Then, we suggest a clustering approach to get better results in reliability, decreasing message passing and algorithm’s runtime. Here, we consider n different transactions working on non-conflict data items. Considering execution efficiency of some different...
