Influence-Based Autonomy Levels in Agent Decision-Making
نویسندگان
چکیده
Autonomy is a crucial and powerful feature of agents and it is the subject of much research in the agent field. Controlling the autonomy of agents is a way to coordinate the behavior of groups of agents. Our approach is to look at it as a design problem for agents. We analyze the autonomy of an agent as a gradual property that is related to the degree of intervention of other agents in the decision process. We define different levels of autonomy in terms of inter-agent influences and we present a BDI-based deliberation process in which different levels of autonomy can be implemented.

متن کاملAdjustable Autonomy, Norms and Pronouncers
Discussions of agent autonomy levels largely ignore the function of norms in the agents’ decision making process. Allowing artificial agents to use norms makes smooth interaction in the social space less problematic. Agent autonomy will also increase if one grants agents normative support, making accurate and consistent models of other agents feasible. This will result in better behavior predic...
متن کاملCover Page Autonomy as Decision-Making Control
Autonomy is an often cited but rarely agreed upon agent characteristic. Although no definition of agent autonomy is universally accepted, exploring the concept of autonomy is important because autonomy influences and is influenced by the degree of trust that agent designers and users place in their agents, the effectiveness of agent-based problem solving, and the organizational structure of age...
