In this paper, we investigate consensus and disturbance attenuation in a chain of mobile agents, which include non-autonomous agents, semi-autonomous agents and autonomous agents. In particular, the nonlinear dynamics of non-autonomous agents is given and cannot be designed, while the dynamics of semi-autonomous and autonomous agents can be partially and fully designed, respectively. To improve...

the current study aimed to define some factors contributing to implicit attitude formation mainly in the social interaction context. an agent-based computer simulation of a society including autonomous agents and an attitude object was used to track the implicit attitude progress towards the object. the society could simulate the autonomic behaviors. we provided a complex adaptive system and ob...

Societies are regulated by norms and, consequently, autonomous agents that want to be part of them must be able to reason about norms. However, no reasoning can be done if agents lack a model of norms that allows them to know how by complying with norms some of their goals might be affected. In this paper, a general model of norms is proposed. By contrast with current models of norms, our model...
