Generalized Media of Interaction and Inter-Agent Coordination
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper investigates social intelligence from a sociological perspective. Starting from social interaction and the problem of "double contingency" it shows how "generalized symbolic media of interaction" facilitate coordination processes in modern human societies. It advocates the concept of media as a source of fruitful inspiration for the design of socially intelligent agents and artificial social systems.

Formal ReSpecT
Logic-based languages have already proved to be effective to build individual agents and to enable inter-agent communication in multi-agent systems. Also, logic tuple centres have shown that logic-based languages can be effectively exploited to rule inter-agent communication so as to build social behaviours. In this paper, we formally define the notion of logic tuple centre as well as the opera...
متن کاملAn Agent-Based Model for Autonomic Coordination of Inter-Organizational Business Processes
Inter-Organizational Workflow (IOW) aims at supporting the collaboration between several autonomous and heterogeneous business processes, distributed over different enterprises or organizations. Coordination of these processes is a fundamental issue that has been mainly addressed in a static context, but it still remains open in a dynamic one such as the Internet in which IOW applications are m...
متن کاملHybrid Coordination Models for Handling Information Exchange among Internet Agents
Information exchange in multi-agent systems raises a multiplicity of problems, which the Internet further emphasises – heterogeneity and dynamics of information among the main ones. Knowledge scientists and engineers have proposed several solutions (mediators, information brokers, ontologies) which, roughly speaking, mainly focus on information representation, retrieval and interpretation. Mean...
متن کاملFrom Conditional Commitments to Generalized Media: On Means of Coordination Between Self-Governed Entities
In the absence of pre-established coordination structures, what can a self-governed entity – i.e. an entity that chooses on its own between its possible actions and cannot be controlled externally – do to evoke another self-governed entity’s cooperation? In this paper, the motivating conditional self-commitment is conceived to be the basic mechanism to solve coordination problems of this kind. ...
متن کاملEngineering Multi-Agent Systems in LuCe
Logic languages have already proved to be effective in developing single agents and enabling inter-agent communication in multiagent systems. In this paper, we show how LP can also be exploited for multi-agent coordination, by ruling inter-agent communication so as to build social behaviours. For this purpose, we present the LP-based LuCe model and technology for the coordination of Internet ag...
