As a new science of complex intelligent information systems, an open giant intelligent information system is a special kind of complex software systems. In this paper, we first presented conception and complexities of open giant intelligent information system, and then we discussed the challenges of agent-based computing for dealing with the above systems’ software complexities. For the facts o...

In this paper we present analysis and calibration techniques that exploit knowledge about a multi agent society in order to calibrate the system parameters of a corresponding society simulation model. The techniques address typical problems of multi agent simulation calibration like the vast amount of parameters that need to be calibrated, the complex parameter dependencies due to interactions ...

Norm formation is one of the most basic processes of social interaction. To clarify this process, we introduce mutual commitment and meta commitment among agents. R. Axelrod has analyzed the commitment structure of norm formation and the collapsing process of the norm as his norm and meta norm games [1] . He analyzes the games with genetic algorithm. In this paper we generalize the games as mut...

The last two decades were characterized by a huge development of information and communication technologies (ICTs) particularly web technologies. This fact caused the most accelerated and comprehensive social and economic revolution ever seen: people and companies began to access web services and contents to improve knowledge and to establish interaction among each other. This new paradigm has ...
