The social sciences literature abound in problems of providing and maintaining a public good in a society composed of self-interested individuals [8]. Public goods are social bene ts that can be accessed by individuals irrespective of their personal contributions. In our previous work we have demonstrated the use of genetic algorithms (GAs) for generating an optimized agent society that can cir...

We present a multi agent system to generate society profile about facial expressions. Each user interacts with its User Interface Agent which collects user information and communicates with the other agents in the system. A graphical facial animation program is used to monitor facial expressions and to allow the user to draw his/her expressions. The information processed in the system is the pa...

Starting from the key competencies for a knowledge society, this paper examines the information and communication technology (ICT) competency needed by teachers for effective teaching in the 21st-century. The paper analyzes the existing pre-service education programmes for teachers’ ICT competency in Lithuanian universities and colleges, self-evaluation of future teachers of their technological...

Uncertainty is an important factor that influences social evolution in natural and artificial environments. Here we distinguish between three aspects of uncertainty. Environmental uncertainty is the variance of resources in the environment, perceived uncertainty is the variance of the resource distribution as perceived by the organism and effective uncertainty is the variance of resources effec...

the function of religion, is an effect and developments that religion plays in human society. religion has two important functions in the individual domain.  first: increase knowledge, ibn sina believes that only the prophets can come without training as a capacitor of facts. second: soothing, ibn sina belives that  correct ideas are the agent of health.the most important social function of rel...

In this paper we describe an architecture of an artificial agent that is able to autonomously generate and rank its owngoals or intentions based on its motivations. We present an experiment conducted in a simulated environment with suchan agent.

Many research efforts in the area of autonomous and intelligent agents have focused on intra-agent aspects, such as agent languages and architectures, which focus on the agent’s internal structure. Instead, multi-agent systems should not be simply considered as a multitude of individuals. If a society of agent exists, a collective social behaviour is likely to emerge. Therefore, to fully unders...

A society of agents is one in which many agents co-exist and interact with each other while carrying out their tasks. Each agent builds a certain level of expertise. Thus the interactions among agents would help each agent to carry out its task better by tapping into the collective knowledge assets of the society. Agents may diier in the ways in which they interact with other agents. As the soc...
