A Framework for Norm-based Inter-Agent Dependence
Fabiola López y López, G. Flucke, Mark d’Inverno · 2001
Abstract. A significant class of agent architectures designed for operation in a multi-agent world choose their next actions or plans based on a limited anal-ysis; they ignore considerations of the multi-agent world they inhabit, and the inter-agent relationship that might influence their choice of action. This paper addresses that problem, and focuses on the integration of BDI-like agent archi-tectures with computational notions of norms and dependence to arrive at a com-putational multi-agent organisation model. We describe initial work in pursuit of that goal. 1
