Social Norms proliferate in societies as a mechanism for selforganization. This kind of norms are not enforced by a central authority and the individuals of the society are those responsible for their generation and maintenance. The maintenance process is what is known as norm support and is supported by several mechanisms like for example laws, social proof, dominance, etc. We believe that age...

When agents operate in a society with incomplete information and with diverse and conflicting influences, they may, in certain instances, lack the knowledge, the motivation and/or the capacity to enact all their commitments. However, to function as a coherent society it is important for these agents to have a means to resolve such conflicts and to come to a mutual understanding about their acti...

An Artificial Agent Society can be defined as a collection of agents interacting with each other for some purpose and/or inhabiting a specific locality, possibly in accordance to some common norms/rules. These societies are analogous to human and ecological societies, and are an expanding and emerging field in research about social systems. Social networks, electronic markets and disaster manag...

As tumors adapted, so did scientists. They resolved to combine targeted therapeutic agents into drug cocktails to control the evolution of resistance and thwart the persistent cancer cells, a strategy that’s finally coming to fruition. A slew of data from early-phase trials—presented by Novartis researchers and others at the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) meeting in June 2014—is t...

This paper challenges the idea of creating an architectural approach for designing a complex hybrid cognitive agent, i.e. an agent which possesses all reactive, deliberative and affective capabilities, outside the hierarchical paradigm. Thus, it presents an agent architecture based on Marvin Minsky’s “Society of Mind” (SoM) metaphor on human mind and cognition and shows how SoM agents, through ...

This paper presents the VisualAgent a software development environment that assists the specification, design and implementation stages of the agent system development lifecycle. The VisualAgent environment provides support for modeling multi-agent systems by using the MAS-ML modeling language and for implementing such systems by using the Agent Society Framework.
