The Belief-Desire-Intention (BDI) model of rational agency provides an abstract architecture for practical reasoning systems and is today regarded as one of the key contributions of multiagent systems research to AI. So far, however, a similar model for practical social reasoning systems that is generic enough to be used as a unifying framework for the diverse methods used to manage the interac...

An artiicial social system is a set of restrictions on agents' behaviors in a multi-agent environment. Its role is to allow agents to coexist in a shared environment and pursue their respective goals in the presence of other agents. This paper argues that artiicial social systems exist in practically every multi-agent system, and play a major role in the performance and eeectiveness of the agen...

In this paper we present an approach based on the view that creativity is essentially determined by social evaluation and that any computational modelling of creativity needs to account for this. Directions for modelling creative social systems are suggested based on results of computational social simulations of creativity and innovation.

The new generation of Web applications known as (STS) is successfully established and poised for continued growth. STS are open and inherently social; features that have been proven to encourage participation. But while STS bring new opportunities, they revive old problems, such as information overload. Recommender Systems are well known applications for increasing the level of relevant content...

A number of recent models demonstrate sustained and high levels of cooperation within evolutionary systems supported by the endogenous evolution of social structure. These dynamic social structures co-evolve, under certain conditions, to support a form of group selection in which highly cooperative groups replace less cooperative groups. A necessary condition is that agents are free to move bet...

While much work has considered the problem of latent attribute inference for users of social media such as Twitter, little has been done on non-English-based content and users. Here, we conduct the first assessment of latent attribute inference in languages beyond English, focusing on gender inference. We find that the gender inference problem in quite diverse languages can be addressed using e...

nowadays, social capital plays more important role than other capitals. in absence of social capital, other capitals will lose their effectiveness and makes it difficult to reach the economic and cultural evelopment. the origin of social capital can be mainly based on social and cultural factors such as festivals. recognition of this capital and its evaluation as a kind of macro-management in t...
