Institutional Social Networks for Ambient Intelligence
نویسندگان
چکیده
Ambient Intelligence creates scenarios in which the reality is modified by devices that augment the possibilities of social interaction. In this paper we propose an approach based on institutions to describe and model the virtual reality created by an application of Ambient Intelligence. First, using the multiagent systems, we give a model of institution in terms of the relations of power and dependence, defined by means of a description of goals and skills of a single agent. We show with our framework, with the help of an example, how it is possible to model the social structures developed in a system of Ambient Intelligence thanks to the notion of institution.

متن کاملConvivial Ambient Technologies: Requirements, Ontology and Design
In this paper we discuss the use of the social concept ‘conviviality’ for computer science in general, and for the development of ambient technologies in particular. First, we give a survey of the use of the concept ‘conviviality’ in the social sciences. Conviviality is usually considered a positive concept related to sociability. However, further analysis reveals a negative side related to lac...
