A Taxonomy of Autonomy in Multiagent Organisation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Starting from a general definition of how to model the organisation of multiagent systems with the aid of holonic structures, we discuss design parameters for such structures. These design parameters can be used to model a wide range of different organisational types. The focus of this contribution is to link these design parameters with a taxonomy of different types of autonomy relevant in multiagent organisation. We also discuss the constraining effect of autonomy on the recursive nesting of multiagent organisation. As the domain for applying multiagent systems we choose a general view on multiagent task-assignment.

Concepts, challenges, and prospects on Multiagent Data Warehousing (MADWH) and Multiagent Data Mining (MADM)
Multiagent Data Warehousing (MADWH) and Multiagent Data Mining (MADM) presents a multidimensional agent-oriented approach for brain modelling and decision making based on the hypothesis that a brain system consists of a society of semiautonomous neural agents and full autonomy is the result of coordination of semiautonomous functionalities. The agent-oriented approach leads to the following con...
متن کاملThe Link between Autonomy and Organisation in Multiagent Systems
Market-based approaches have a long tradition in supporting of taskassignment multiagent systems. Such systems consist of customer agents with jobs to assign, and provider agents that have the resources to perform these jobs. Jobs can be complex in the sense that they require the collaboration of several provider agents. We present a set of organisational forms of collaboration between firms th...
متن کاملAchieving Multiagent Organisation by Organising Agent Experience
There are two contrary types of approaches to multiagent design and modelling, each having its specific shortcomings: first, top-down (normative) approaches that emphasise social level control; and second, bottom-up (constructivist) approaches that emphasise agent autonomy. This paper introduces a “middle way” between these two types. A novel social reasoning architecture called INFFRA is descr...
متن کاملQuantifying Relative Autonomy in Multiagent Interaction
In the paper we introduce a quantitative measure of autonomy in multiagent interactions. We quantify and analyse different types of agent autonomy: (a) decision autonomy versus action autonomy, (b) autonomy with respect to an agent’s user, (c) autonomy with respect to other agents and groups of agents, and (d) a measure of group autonomy that accounts for the degree with which one group depends...
متن کاملNorm Governed Agents In CSCW
Information systems are organisations in which signs are created, processed and consumed for social and economic purposes. In order to fulfil the organisational goals and objectives, members within an organisation must understand their responsibilities and authorities, and must act cooperatively. The key to this organisation and coordination lies in norms which define responsibilities and autho...
