(Discussion Paper, 2011)Second Life is a multi-purpose online virtual world that provides a rich platform for remote human interaction. It is increasingly being used as a simulation platform to model complex human interactions in diverse areas, ... -
(Discussion Paper, 2007)Referrals are used in multi-agent systems, network agents and peer-to-peer systems for the purpose of global or local information spreading to facilitate trust relationships and reciprocal interactions. Based on referral ... -
(Discussion Paper, 2007)Norms are shared expectations of behaviours that exist in human societies. Norms help societies by increasing the predictability of individual behaviours and by improving co-operation and collaboration among members. Norms ... -
(Discussion Paper, 2010)In this paper we consider the broader issue of gaining assurance that an agent system will behave appropriately when it is deployed. We ask to what extent this problem is addressed by existing research into formal verification. ... -
(Conference or Workshop Item (Paper), Dagstuhl Seminar Proceedings 09121: Normative Multi-Agent Systems, 2009)In multi-agent systems, software agents are modelled to possess characteristics and behaviour borrowed from human societies. Norms are expectations of behaviours of the agents in a society. Norms can be established in a ... -
(Conference or Workshop Item (Paper), 8th European Workshop on Multi-Agent Systems, 2010)Previous work on detecting fulfilments and violations of expectations (which may correspond to conventions, norms, commitments or contracts) assumed that information about the world is available as an abstract logical model ... -
(Dissertation, Postgraduate Diploma of Science in Software Engineering, 2009)Multi-agent frameworks are broadly available in the meanwhile. Nearly all of them however understand the agent concept differently, going as far as to provide several agent concepts within a platform. Along with this ... -
(Discussion Paper, 2005)This paper discusses the potential benefits to ontology engineering in making the toolset of the Object Management Group’s model-driven architecture (MDA) applicable to ontology modelling, and describes the design of an ... -
(Discussion Paper, 2008)Most people hold a variety of opinions on different topics ranging from sports, entertainment, spiritual beliefs to moral principles. These can be based on a personal reflection and evaluation or on their interactions with ... -
(Other Type, 2007)Constructing an accurate effort prediction model is a challenge in Software Engineering. One difficulty practitioners often experience is that they have only a very small amount of local data to construct a model. The small ...
