NorAGR: a NORmative Agent Groupe Role Model for Organizational Centered Open Multi-Agent Systems
Mohamed Sedik Chebout, Toufik Marir, Varun Gupta · 2023
In Open Multi-Agent Systems (Open MAS), agents' architectures are heterogeneous or unspecified. In addition, unknown agents can freely join and leave the system in keeping with their own plans. Consequently, the interactions' results are inherently unmanageable likewise predicting the system's overall behavior due to the high likelihood of unwanted behavior (i.e., emergence). Hence, Agent, Group and Role (AGR) organizational model provides a support to design Open MAS where agent architecture and their implementation issues are left unspecified. However, the basic concepts proposed by the core AGR model make the control task of AGR-based Open MAS extremely difficult. For that end, the intent of this work is to extend the basic AGR model with normative concepts in order to provide a solution for the openness related problems in MAS. Also, the agent must satisfy the regular notions associated with the requested role in role assignment task. Normative extension satisfies a set of axioms, we proposed, in order to specify the declarative and operational new provided concepts.
