In this paper, we give formal analyses of notions of fraud for the aim of verification of trade procedures. A fraud possibility is seen as an undesirable property of a trade procedure which its specification should not satisfy. It is argued that fraud may occur (in a trade procedure) when an agent violates an obligation and he/she also deceives another agent (a controller) about the fulfilment ...

The New York Yankees signed shortstop Damian Arredondo on July 3, 2009. 1 The sixteen-year-old switch hitter from the Dominican Republic garnered an $850,000 signing bonus, and in return he promised a strong arm and speed—“he reportedly ran a 60-yard-dash in 6.4 seconds.” 2 The problem is that Damian Arredondo is not sixteen years old. In fact, his name is not Damian Arredondo. 3 Soon after the...

As in human world many of our goals could not be achieved without interacting with other people, in case many agents are part of the same environment one agent should be aware that he is not alone and he cannot assume other agents sharing his own goals. Moreover, he may be required to interact with other agents and to reason about their mental state in order to find out potential friends to joi...

Agents who operate in complex environments must often construct plans on the basis of incomplete knowledge. In such situations, the successful agent must incorporate into his plans actions which obtain information. These plans are intrinsically sketchy to begin with and become more specified as the agent proceeds through his plan. A theory which allows for such flexible planning wi l l have to ...

Agent oriented software engineering (AOSE) is an emerging field in computer science  and  proposes some systematic ideas for multi agent systems analysis, implementation and maintenance. Despite the various methodologies introduced in the agent-oriented software engineering, the main challenges are defects in different aspects of methodologies. According to the defects resulted from weaknesses ...

This paper proposes a genealogy of the concept homo œconomicus as it emerged from methodological debate on economic agent political economy. If John Stuart Mill gave birth to man in his 1836 essay “On Definition Political Economy,” he certainly did not baptize him. The expression was introduced by Francis A. Walker after passed away 1870s. Economic acquired its Latin name under pen French Catho...
