Predicting the Priority of Social Situations for Personal Assistant Agents
PRIMA 2020: Principles and Practice of Multi-Agent SystemsPages 231–247https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-69322-0_15AbstractPersonal assistant agents have been developed to help people in their daily lives with tasks such as agenda management. In order to provide better support, they should not only model the user’s internal aspects, but also their social situation. ...

From Good Intentions to Behaviour Change: Probabilistic Feature Diagrams for Behaviour Support Agents
PRIMA 2019: Principles and Practice of Multi-Agent SystemsPages 354–369https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-33792-6_22AbstractBehaviour support technology assists people in organising their daily activities and changing their behaviour. A fundamental notion underlying such supportive technology is that of compliance with behavioural norms: do people indeed perform the ...

Who’s That? - Social Situation Awareness for Behaviour Support Agents: A Feasibility Study
AbstractBehaviour support agents need to be aware of the social environment of the user in order to be able to provide comprehensive support. However, this is a feature that is currently lacking in existing systems. To tackle it, first of all we explore ...

Deriving Norms from Actions, Values and Context
AAMAS '19: Proceedings of the 18th International Conference on Autonomous Agents and MultiAgent SystemsPages 2223–2225Personal technology such as electronic partners (e-partners) play an increasing role in our daily lives, and can make an important difference by supporting us in various ways. However, when they offer this support, it is important that they do so with ...

AAMAS '15: Proceedings of the 2015 International Conference on Autonomous Agents and Multiagent SystemsPages 473–481Norms guide multi-agent systems away from being potentially anarchic towards a coordinated and collaborative society. Institutions provide an explicit, external representation of norms as well as the means to detect violations and other conditions. Each ...

A Semantic Framework for Socially Adaptive Agents: Towards strong norm compliance
AAMAS '15: Proceedings of the 2015 International Conference on Autonomous Agents and Multiagent SystemsPages 423–432We address the question of how an agent can adapt its behavior to comply with newly adopted norms. This is particularly relevant in the case of open systems where agents may enter and leave norm-governed social contexts not known at design time. This ...

Revising institutions governed by institutions for compliant regulations

Yet, wider organisations/governments often intend to guide ...

The approach is motivated by the desire for robots to perform less like teleoperated ...

A real-time semantics for norms with deadlines
AAMAS '13: Proceedings of the 2013 international conference on Autonomous agents and multi-agent systemsPages 507–514Norms have been proposed as a way to regulate multi-agent systems. In order to operationalize norms, several computational frameworks have been proposed for programming norm-governed agent organizations. It has been argued that in such systems it is ...

Agent reasoning for norm compliance: a semantic approach
AAMAS '13: Proceedings of the 2013 international conference on Autonomous agents and multi-agent systemsPages 499–506A system of autonomous agents may exhibit undesirable or ineffective behavior if no form of regulation is imposed. Norms, describing how agents should ideally behave, can be used to address this issue if agents are able to reason about norms and adapt ...
