Agent aware organizational design (doctoral consortium)
نویسنده
چکیده
I study creation of multiagent organizations via an automated computational process. My organizational design problem frames design decisions in terms of the quantitative impact that an organization is expected to have on the agents’ reasoning and behaviors. I develop techniques for efficiently solving this problem via incremental search of the organizational design space, and extend my organizational design process to provide supplementary information alongside its design that agents can use to inform organizational adaptions.

Reasoning about Context and Engineering Context-Aware Agents (Doctoral Consortium)
A context-aware agent adapts to its human user’s context—a snapshot of the user’s environment, actions, and interactions. Engineering such agents is nontrivial. A contextaware agent must (1) capture its user’s mental model of context—a high-level concern centered on meaning, and (2) learn to recognize contexts from sensor data—a low-level concern centered on devices and infrastructure. This the...
متن کاملAd Hoc Coordination in Multiagent Systems with Applications to Human-Machine Interaction (Doctoral Consortium)
This thesis is concerned with the ad hoc coordination problem, in which the goal is to design an autonomous agent which is able to achieve optimal flexibility and efficiency in a multiagent system with no mechanisms for prior behavioural coordination. The thesis is primarily motivated by humanmachine interaction problems, which can often be formulated in this setting. This paper gives a brief a...
متن کاملDoctoral Consortium: Utilizing Mobile Devices to Capture Case Stories for Knowledge Management
This study examines how the increasing number of new mobile devices that enable rich in situ information capture can be utilized to improve knowledge management practices. An ethnographic study is being conducted of a heating and cooling services company focusing on the exchange of case stories. With knowledge gained from this study a prototype system is being built that allows in situ multi-me...
متن کاملThe Sciences of Design: Observations on an Emerging Field
The boundaries and contours of design sciences continue to undergo definition and refinement. In many ways, the sciences of design defy disciplinary characterization. They demand multiple epistemologies, theoretical orientations (e.g. construction, analysis or intervention) and value considerations. As our understanding of this emerging field of study grows, we become aware that the sciences of...
متن کاملA Systematic Approach for Detecting Defects in Agent Designs: (Doctoral Consortium)
Multi-agent systems are increasingly being used in complex applications due to features such as autonomy, proactivity, flexibility, robustness and social ability. Thus, techniques to detect and avoid defects in such systems are valuable. In particular, it is desirable to detect issues as early as possible in the development lifecycle. This research aims to find ways in which to ensure the corre...
