Governing Government: A Framework for Multi-tier Institution Specification and Reasoning
نویسنده
چکیده
A key challenge of institutions is how to guide their governing into being desirable. This is important from the perspective of an agent governed by an institution to maintain specific rights, and of cross-institutional policies that require institutions’ regulations to be coordinated (e.g. national legislations with supranational policy). This research addresses this problem by developing a framework for the specification and automated reasoning of institution governing institutions, in a hierarchical structure called multi-tier institutions, and automated revision of institutions for compliance. This automates guiding institutional designers towards desirable institutional specifications respecting autonomy and subsidiarity.

A Framework for Institutions Governing Institutions
Norms guide multi-agent systems away from being potentially anarchic towards a coordinated and collaborative society. Institutions provide an explicit, external representation of norms as well as the means to detect violations and other conditions. Each institution can be crafted individually to capture their designers’ goals, but this creates a challenge at higher levels of authority in guidin...
متن کامل(2013) Governing Intelligent Virtual Agent Behaviour with Norms. In: International Conference on Autonomous Agents and Multi-agent Systems, Opus: University of Bath Online Publication Store
One requirement by which virtual environments (VEs) are judged, is the believability of the virtual agents (VAs). One aspect of believability, is that agent responses to situations should not create cognitive dissonance and thereby distract the observer. One approach to this problem is the use of institutional models providing social reasoning, in conjunction with classical AI techniques provid...

متن کاملFormal Specification of Reflective Agents
Many autonomous agents exhibit reflective behaviour: they not only reason about their own behaviour, but also about other agents' behaviour. To model and formally specify such behaviour requires a framework which provides constructs designed for this purpose.
