Internal Agent Architecture for Norm Identification
نویسندگان
چکیده
Most works on norms in the multi-agent systems field have concentrated on how norms can be applied to regulate behaviour in agent societies using a top-down approach. In this work, we describe the internal architecture of an agent which identifies what the norm of a society is using a bottom-up approach. The agents infer norms without the norms being given to them explicitly. We demonstrate how the norm associated with using a park can be inferred by an agent using the proposed

Social Norm Recommendation for Virtual Agent Societies
Norms express expectations about behaviours of interacting entities in both human and software agent societies. While humans naturally possess the ability to recognize existing norms and learn new ones, software agents representing human users (e.g. avatars in virtual worlds) have to be endowed with such capabilities. Such a norm recognizing and learning agent, using observed actions and intera...
متن کاملA Data Mining Approach to Identify Obligation Norms in Agent Societies
Most works on norms have investigated how norms are regulated using institutional mechanisms. Very few works have focused on how an agent may infer the norms of a society without the norm being explicitly given to the agent. This paper describes how an agent can make use of the proposed norm identification architecture to identify norms. This paper explains how an agent using this architecture ...
متن کاملIntelligent Agent Design Issues: Internal Agent State and Incomplete Perception
Given the present diversity of architectures for intelligent agents it is important that we start identifying those environmental characteristics that impact architecture design. This would benefit architecture designers and those trying to understand and evaluate existing architectures. Unfortunately. the “Turing Tarpit” discourages precise characterizations. Nonetheless, we attempt here to ma...
متن کاملNorm and Social Compliance: A Computational Study
The necessity to model the mental ingredients of norm compliance is a controversial issue within the study of norms. So far, the simulation-based study of norm emergence has shown a prevailing tendency to model norm conformity as a thoughtless behavior, emerging from social learning and imitation rather than from specific, norm-related mental representations. In this article, the opposite stanc...
متن کاملFrom Green Norms to Policies - Combining Bottom-Up and Top-Down Approaches
This paper proposes and describes an architecture that enables the identification and spreading of green norms in agent societies and the eventual elevation of green norms into policies. Using a real world case study on duplex printing, this paper demonstrates how norms can be identified and also discusses approaches for spreading norms. Using an agent-based simulation study of the energy conse...
