Designing Social Cognition Models for Multi-Agent Systems through Simulating Primate Societies

In this paper, we discuss the advantages of investigating primate societies to build Multi-Agent Systems, and we present our preliminary results in this context. We first give an overview of primates’ social competences, then we draw a parallel between the main problems found in the study of primate societies (regarding their social organization) and some of the most commonly encountered issues...

Norm-based agency for designing collaborative information systems

Information systems are organizations in which signs are created, processed and consumed. In order to fulfil the organizational goals and objectives, its members must understand their responsibilities and authorities, and must act co-operatively. The key to this organization and co-ordination lies in norms, which define responsibilities and authorities for each human agent, and establish regula...

Key Issues in Designing Long-term Care Systems: A Response to Recent Commentaries

Exploring Handheld, Agent-based, Multimodal Collaboration

Designing software for handheld computers is challenging because of their limited computing power, memory, display size, and the choices of hardware and operating systems. In addition to these challenges, collaborative handheld applications must deal with distributed computing and other network-related issues. We believe that by designing these applications as multimodal, multiagent systems, we...
