Repage: REPutation and ImAGE Among Limited Autonomous Partners
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper introduces Repage, a computational system that adopts a cognitive theory of reputation. We propose a fundamental difference between image and reputation, which suggests a way out from the paradox of sociality, i.e. the trade-off between agents' autonomy and their need to adapt to social environment. On one hand, agents are autonomous if they select partners based on their social evaluations (images). On the other, they need to update evaluations by taking into account others'. Hence, social evaluations must circulate and be represented as "reported evaluations" (reputation), before and in order for agents to decide whether to accept them or not. To represent this level of cognitive detail in artificial agents' design, there is a need for a specialised subsystem, which we are in the course of developing for the public domain. In the paper, after a short presentation of the cognitive theory of reputation and its motivations, we describe the implementation of Repage.

On representation and aggregation of social evaluations in computational trust and reputation models
Interest for computational trust and reputation models is on the rise. One of the most important aspects of these models is how they deal with information received from other individuals. More generally, the critical choice is how to represent and how to aggregate social evaluations. In this article, we make an analysis of the current approaches of representation and aggregation of social evalu...
متن کاملNorms Evaluation through Reputation Mechanisms for BDI Agents
Open multiagent systems are systems populated with autonomous agents whose intentions are unknown. Due to this uncertainty, reputation mechanisms arise as a key technology when designing such systems. These mechanisms endow agents with the capability to reason about the behaviour of their potential partners regarding certain criteria, for instance, a particular norm. Although normative systems ...
متن کاملMetareasoning and Social Evaluations in Cognitive Agents
Reputation mechanisms have been recognized one of the key technologies when designing multi-agent systems. They are specially relevant in complex open environments, becoming a non-centralized mechanism to control interactions among agents. Cognitive agents tackling such complex societies must use reputation information not only for selecting partners to interact with, but also in metareasoning ...
متن کاملProbabilistic Dynamic Belief Logic for Image and Reputation
Since electronic and open environments became a reality, computational trust and reputation models have attracted increasing interest in the field of multiagent systems (MAS). Some of them are based on cognitive theories of reputation that require cognitive agents to display all their potential. One of them is Repage, a computational system based on a cognitive theory of reputation that focuses...
متن کاملBeyond Accuracy. Reputation for Partner Selection with Lies and Retaliation
In an unpredictable, heterogeneous world, intelligent agents depend on accurate social information; reputation, among the preeminent artifacts to transmit social evaluations, has been receiving growing attention by social scientists. A realistic description of reputation must include inaccurate information; in this paper, based on the distinction between image (agents’ believed evaluation of a ...
