Intelligent Agents – Autonomy Issues
نویسنده
چکیده
Autonomy of agents is a critical issue in the field of intelligent agents. It is indeed becoming central and relevant in the design and development of agents and multi-agents systems. In this paper we intend to articulate some fundamental concepts and concerns of the autonomy of agents. Some critical attributes in autonomy are reviewed from the perspective of a number of researches projecting current realities on the issue. The dimensions of autonomy on such issues as situational and regulated or adjustable autonomy were examined. It is observed that autonomy of agents is necessary but needs regulation.

Managing Control, Convenience and Autonomy - A Study of Agent Autonomy in Intelligent Environments
There are many arguments for and against the use of autonomous-agents in ambient intelligence and intelligent environments. Some researchers maintain that it is vital to restrict autonomy of agents so that users have complete control over the system; whereas, many others maintain that there is a greater benefit to be gained by employing autonomous-agents to take some of the work load off the us...
متن کاملAdjustable Autonomy: A Response
Gaining a fundamental understanding of adjustable autonomy (AA) is critical if we are to deploy multi-agent systems in support of critical human activities. Indeed, our recent work with intelligent agents in the “Electric Elves” (E-Elves) system has convinced us that AA is a critical part of any human collaboration software. In the following, we first briefly describe E-Elves, then discuss AA i...
متن کاملOn Chatbots Exhibiting Goal-Directed Autonomy in Dynamic Environments
Conversation interfaces (CIs), or chatbots, are a popular form of intelligent agents that engage humans in taskoriented or informal conversation. In this position paper and demonstration, we argue that chatbots working in dynamic environments, like with sensor data, can not only serve as a promising platform to research issues at the intersection of learning, reasoning, representation and execu...
متن کاملA large-scale multi-agent system for navy personnel distribution
In the US Navy, at the end of each sailor’s tour of duty, he or she is assigned to a new job. The Navy employs some 280 people, called detailers, full time to effect these new assignments. The IDA (Intelligent Distribution Agent) prototype was designed and built to automate, in a cognitively plausible manner, the job of the human detailers. That model is being redesigned to function as a multi-...
متن کاملConsiderations for Flexible Autonomy within BDI Intelligent AgentArchitectures
This paper discusses issues related to autonomy within BDIbased intelligent agent architectures and applications. One advantage that agent-based applications built upon formal theories such as BDI (Belief-Desire-Intention) theories have over standard application implementation paradigms is their explicit implementation of some of the mentalistic states, such as goals, that are typically associa...
