Abstract: | We extend the logical model of agency known as the KGP model, to support agents with normative concepts, based on the roles
an agent plays and the obligations and prohibitions that result from playing these roles. The proposed framework illustrates
how the resulting normative concepts, including the roles, can evolve dynamically during the lifetime of the agent. Furthermore,
we illustrate how these concepts can be combined with the existing capabilities of KGP agents in order to plan for their goals,
react to changes in the environment, and interact with other agents. Our approach gives an executable specification of normative
concepts that can be used directly for prototyping applications.
Fariba Sadri is a senior lecturer at Imperial College London, from where she received her PhD. Her earlier work concentrated on integrity
of deductive databases and temporal reasoning, in particular using the event calculus. In more recent years her work has been
on agent technologies and multi-agent systems. She has worked on logic-based agent models, reasoning, dynamic belief revision,
and inter-agent communication and negotiation for resources. She was co-awarded an EPSRC grant for research into logic-based
multi-agents and was co-investigator in the EU SOCS project.
Kostas Stathis is a senior lecturer at Royal Holloway, University of London and he holds a PhD from Imperial College London. His research
interests are in the area of computational intelligence in general and in the intersection of computational logic and cognitive
systems for social computing applications in particular. His research interests include: representation of human-computer
(or computer-computer) interaction as a game; cognitive & autonomous agents; artificial agent societies; agent communication;
programmable agents and agent platforms. He is a co-investigator of the EU ArguGRID project and was a co-investigator of the
EU SOCS project.
Francesca Toni is a senior lecturer at Imperial College London, from where she received her PhD. Her earlier work focused on abductive reasoning.
In more recent years, she focused on argumentation, agent models and multi-agent systems. She has worked on computational
logic-based agent models, agent reasoning, dynamic belief revision, and inter-agent communication and negotiation for resources.
She has been co-ordinator of the EU SOCS project, which developed the KGP model of agency, and is coordinator of the EU ArguGRID
project, on the application of argumentative agents within grid systems. |
