Ajustable Autonomy Delegation and Distribution of Decision Making.
Harko Verhagen, Johan Kummeneje · 1999
In this paper we will illustrate the possible uses of norms in multi-agent decision making. Norms as obligations serve to generate action repertoires and norms as constraints on behavior enable pronouncers to filter out subrational decisions. These are combined with adjustable autonomy to produce highly adaptive agents. The theoretical framework is tested in simulations of norm-spreading and norm-internalization and also robotic soccer.
