Affective computing is receiving increasing attention in many sectors, ranging from advertisement to politics. This work, set a Social Semantic Web framework, presents ArsEmotica, an application software for associating the predominant emotions
Ethics by Design concerns the methods, algorithms and tools needed to endow autonomous agents with capability reason about ethical aspects of their decisions, formalisms guarantee that an agent's behavior remains within given moral bounds. In this context some questions arise: How what extent can understand social reality in which they operate, other intelligences (AI, animals humans) co-exist? What are emerging new forms society, how do we ensure human dimension is upheld interactions...
Commitments provide a flexible means for specifying the business relationships among autonomous and heterogeneous agents, lead to natural way of enacting such relationships. However, current formalizations commitments incorporate conditions expressed as propositions, but disregard (1) temporal regulations (2) an agent's control over regulations. Thus, they cannot handle realistic application scenarios where time are often central because domain conventions or other requirements.We propose...
Many real-world applications of multiagent systems require independently designed (heterogeneous) and operated (autonomous) agents to interoperate. We consider who offer business services collaborate in interesting service engagements. formalize notions interoperability conformance, which appropriately support agent heterogeneity autonomy. With respect autonomy, our approach considers the choices that each has, how their are coordinated so at any time one leads its counterpart follows, but...
Interaction protocols play a fundamental role in multiagent systems. In this work, after analyzing the trends that are emerging not only from research on interaction but also neighboring fields, like workflows and business processes, we propose novel definition of commitment-based protocols, is characterized by decoupling constitutive regulative specifications explicitly foresees representation latter based constraints among commitments. A clear distinction between two representations has...
We present the JaCaMo+ framework for programming multiagent systems (MAS), where agents interact thanks to commitment-based interaction protocols. Commitment protocols are realized as artifacts that maintain a social state and notify participating those events relevant interaction. discuss advantages, like increased modularity flexibility, brought by commitment-ruled interactions with respect other proposals. trace back such advantages possibility of relying on standardized commitment...
Socio-Technical Systems demand an evolution of computing into social computing, with a transition from individualistic to societal view. As such, they seem particularly suitable realize multiparty, cross-organizational systems. Multi-Agent are natural candidate Systems. However, while envisage explicit layer that contains the regulations all parties must respect in their interaction, and thus preserve agents' autonomy, current frameworks platforms require hard-code coordination requirements...
This work studies how the notion of accountability can play a key role in design and realization distributed systems that are open involve autonomous agents should harmonize their own goals with organizational goals. The socio–technical support inside human companies organizations examples such systems. approach is proposed order to pursue this purpose set context multiagent organizations, relies on an explicit specification relationships among involved for capturing who accountable whom...
