A Normative Multi-Agent Systems Approach to the Use of Conviviality for Digital Cities

How to import the concept of conviviality to web communities

While conviviality has simultaneously been defined in the literature as individual freedom realised in personal interdependence, rational and cooperative behaviour and normative instrument, no model has yet been proposed for computer science. In this article, we raise the question of how to import the concept of conviviality to web communities. Firstly, we analyse the concept of conviviality fo...

A Conviviality Measure for Early Requirement Phase of Multiagent System Design

In this paper, we consider the design of convivial multi-agent systems. Conviviality has recently been proposed as a social concept to develop multi-agent systems. In this paper we introduce temporal dependence networks to model the evolution of dependence networks and conviviality over time, we introduce epistemic dependence networks to combine the viewpoints of stakeholders, and we introduce ...

Designing Convivial Digital Cities A Normative Multi-Agent Systems Approach Using Dependence Networks

A Critical Discussion on the Use of the Notion of Conviviality for Digital Cities

Conviviality is usually considered a positive concept however, as it becomes an instrument at the service of power relations, a darker side emerges. In this survey paper we raise the question: Which definition of conviviality can be used and operationalized for digital cities? We propose a two-fold definition of conviviality as (1) a condition for social interactions and (2) an instrument for t...
