Using a Normative Organisational Model to Specify and Manage an Institution for Multi-agent Systems
نویسنده
چکیده
Nowadays multi-agent applications are more and more openness. That brings the risk to deal with to autonomous agents i.e. agents not respecting the society rules. To insure a coherent behaviour the application require tools to control and regulate the system overall functioning. Moreover they should provide the system with mechanisms to enforce global laws on the autonomous agents operating in it. This paper presents an institution multi-agent layer called SYNAI. Implemented with different agents, the institution functioning is itself specified as a normative organisation model making explicit how the overall system should be controlled. Using an iTV game application, we illustrate how such a specification is useful to help the agents to function in the system.

Spatially Distributed Normative Infrastructure
In previous works we have presented a model to describe and simulate environment for situated multi-agent systems, that we called ELMS. Here, we present an extensions to our model that provide means to have normative information distributed in the environment. Organisational structures for multi-agent systems are usually defined independently of any spatial or temporal structure. Therefore, whe...
متن کاملA Distributed Normative Infrastructure for Situated Multi-Agent Organisations (Short Paper)
In most of the existing approaches to the design of multiagent systems, there is no clear way in which to relate organisational and normative structures to the model of the environment where they are to be situated and operate. Our work addresses this problem by putting together, in a practical approach to developing multi-agent systems (and social simulations in particular), a high-level envir...
متن کاملProcess algebraic modeling of authentication protocols for analysis of parallel multi-session executions
Many security protocols have the aim of authenticating one agent acting as initiator to another agent acting as responder and vice versa. Sometimes, the authentication fails because of executing several parallel sessions of a protocol, and because an agent may play both the initiator and responder role in parallel sessions. We take advantage of the notion of transition systems to specify authen...
متن کاملAugmenting Multi-Agent Environment Descriptions with a Normative Infrastructure∗
This paper presents an approach for the development of environments for situated multi-agent systems. The approach includes features that allow designers to associate organisational structures to the environment. Spatially distributing the normative information over the environment is a natural way to simplify the definition of organisational structures and the development of large-scale multi-...
