From Real-World Regulations to Concrete Norms for Software Agents – A Case-Based Reasoning Approach
نویسندگان
چکیده
When trying to use software agents (SAs) for real-world business and thereby putting them in a situation to operate under real-world laws, the abstractness of human regulations often poses severe problems. Thus, human regulations are written in a very abstract way, making them open to a wide range of interpretations and applicable for several scenarios as well as stable over a longer period of time. However, in order to be applicable for SAs, regulations need to be precise and unambiguous. This paper presents a casebased reasoning approach in order to bridge the gap between abstract human regulations and the concrete regulations needed for SAs, by developing and using a knowledge base that can be used for drawing analogies and thereby serves as reference for "translating" abstract terms in human regulations.

Software agents can be members of dierent institutions along their life; they might even belong to dierent institutions simultaneously. For these reasons, agents need capabilities that allow them to determine the repercussion that their actions would have within the dierent institutions.
