Conviviality Masks in Multiagent Systems (Short Paper)

چکیده
In this paper we study tools for conviviality to develop user-friendly multiagent systems. First, we show how to use the social-cognitive concept of conviviality in multiagent system technology by relating it to agent power and social dependence networks. Second, we define conviviality masks as transformations of social dependencies by hiding power relations and social structures to facilitate social interactions. Third, we introduce dynamic dependence networks to model the creation of conviviality using conviviality masks. We illustrate the use of conviviality masks with a multiagent teleconferencing application for virtual worlds.

Temporal dependence networks for the design of convivial multiagent systems
We show how to use TROPOS as a design methodology for convivial multi-agent systems. We introduce temporal dependence networks to measure the evolution of conviviality over time, and we compare them to dynamic dependence networks introduced for conviviality masks and internal dynamics.
متن کاملConviviality measures
Conviviality has been introduced as a social science concept for multiagent systems to highlight soft qualitative requirements like user friendliness of systems. In this paper we introduce formal conviviality measures for dependence networks using a coalitional game theoretic framework, which we contrast with more traditional efficiency and stability measures. Roughly, more opportunities to wor...
متن کاملModeling and Evaluating Cooperation in Multi-Context Systems using Conviviality
Multi-Context Systems is a rule-based representation model for distributed, heterogeneous knowledge agents, which cooperate by sharing parts of their local knowledge through a set of bridge rules also known as mappings. The concept of conviviality was recently proposed for modeling and measuring cooperation among agents in multiagent systems. In this paper, we describe how conviviality can be u...

In this paper we introduce temporal dependence networks to model the evolution of dependence networks and conviviality over time, we introduce epistemic dependence networks to combine the viewpoints of stakeholders, and we introduce ...
متن کاملTools for Conviviality in Multi-Context Systems
A common feature of many distributed systems, including web social networks, peer-to-peer systems and Ambient Intelligence systems, is cooperation in terms of information exchange among heterogeneous entities. In order to facilitate the exchange of information, we first need ways to evaluate it. The concept of conviviality was recently proposed for modeling and measuring cooperation among agent...
