Modelling Social Agents: Towards Deliberate Communication
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we present a formal framework for social agents. The social agents consist of four components: the information component (containing knowledge and belief), the action component, the motivational component (where goals, intentions, etc. play a role) and the social component (containing aspects of speech acts and relations between agents). The main aim of this work was to describe all components in a uniform way, such that it is possible to verify each component separately but also formally describe the interactions between the different components. This is of prime importance in order to integrate communicative actions into the plan and goal formation of the agent.

متن کاملTowards a Framework for Agent-based Product Modelling
This paper presents an approach to product modelling that uses computational agents to represent product data. These agents are situated, i.e. they produce all data representations in response to the specific need in the current situation. We have explored this characteristic in the context of the communication of product data to develop a framework for agent-based product modelling. This frame...
متن کاملSociological Agents for Effective Social Action
This paper is concerned with the problem of how effective social interaction arises from individual social action and mind. The need to study the individual social mind, suggests a move towards the notion of sociological agents who can model their social environment as opposed to acting socially within it. This does not constrain such social behaviour; on the contrary, we argue that it provides...
