Conflict Resolution in Norm-Regulated Environments Via Unification and Constraints
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a novel mechanism for the detection and resolution of conflicts within norm-regulated virtual environments, populated by agents whose behaviours are regulated by explicit obligations, permissions and prohibitions. A conflict between norms arises when an action is simultaneously prohibited and obliged or prohibited and permitted. In this paper, we use first-order unification and constraint satisfaction to detect and resolve such conflicts, introducing a concept of norm curtailment. A flexible and robust algorithm for norm adoption is presented and aspects of indirect conflicts and conflicts across delegation of actions between agents is discussed.

متن کاملManaging Conflict Resolution in Norm-Regulated Environments
Norms, that is, obligations, permissions and prohibitions, are a useful abstraction to specify and regulate the actions of self-interested software agents in open, heterogeneous systems. Any realistic account of norms must address their dynamic nature: the norms associated to agents will change as agents act (and interact) – prohibitions can be lifted, obligations can be fulfilled and permissio...
متن کاملEstimation of Returns to Scale in the Presence of Undesirable (bad) Outputs in DEA when the Firm is Regulated
The calculation of RTS amounts to measuring a relationship between inputs and outputs in a production structure. There are many methods to measure RTS in the primal space or the dual space. One of the main approaches is using the multiplier on the convexity constraint. But returns to scale measurements in DEA models are affected by the presence of regulatory constraints. These additional constr...
متن کاملهویت و تأثیر آن بر سیاست خارجیِ یمن در دوران پسا اتحاد 1990
After the 1990 unification in Yemen, the country’s officials made efforts to adopt a new turn of behaviors in various areas, especially their foreign policy, in accordance to the created changes to prove themselves to their peripheral and international environments. Based thereupon, they did their best to define a new identity for the unified Yemen and identify their foreign policy and behavior...
