NetArg: an agent-based social simulator with argumentative agents
نویسندگان
چکیده
We show how agents with argumentative reasoning abilities can be effectively used to run social simulation experiments with NetArg [4]. NetArg agents interact by exchanging arguments in support or against other arguments or opinions, and adapt to new knowledge. By running simulation experiments, we can replicate a robust result in social simulation, namely that small-world network topologies are able to foster information diffusion and cohesion among a population.

NetArg: An Agent-Based Social Simulator with Argumentative Agents (Demonstration)

متن کاملA New Framework for ABMs Based on Argumentative Reasoning
We present an argumentative approach to agent-based modeling where agents are socially embedded and exchange information by means of simulated dialogues. We argue that this approach can be beneficial in social simulations, allowing for a better representation of agent reasoning, that is also accessible to the non computer science savvy, thus filling a gap between scholars that use BDI framework...
متن کاملAn Argumentative Model for Service-Oriented Agents
In this paper we propose an argumentative agent model able to reason and make decisions, communicate and negotiate with other agents with the aim of supporting service selection and composition. Actually, our agent model is inspired from the general-purpose KGP agent model which deals only partially with priorities as required by our application. We provide here an argumentation framework which...
متن کاملArgumentation Tool that Enables Agents to Argue
Multi-Agent Systems are suitable to provide a framework that allows to perform collaborative processes in distributed environments. Furthermore, argumentation is a natural way of reaching agreements between several parties. We propose an infrastructure to develop and execute argumentative agents in an open MAS. It offers the tools to develop agents with argumentation capabilities. It also offer...
متن کاملArgumentation and Game Theory
In a large class of multi-agent systems, agents are self-interested in the sense that each agent is interested only in furthering its individual goals, which may or may not coincide with others’ goals. When such agents engage in argument, they would be expected to argue strategically in such a way that makes it more likely for their argumentative goals to be achieved. What we mean by arguing st...
