“…JaCaMo is a newborn multi-agent oriented programming framework allowing the development of MAS by taking into account three different programming dimensions, namely the agent, environment, and organisation levels. The use of JaCaMo was motivated by its integration of three existing agent-based technologies (i) Jason [8], (ii) MOISE [13], and (iii) CArtAgO [24]. The Jason language was used to programme the agents, MOISE was used to specify communities as loosely structured flat organizations, and CArtAgO was used to programme distributed artifact-based environments where artifacts represent resources.…”

Abstract.Virtual Communities are open socio-technical structures wherein autonomous entities (i.e. agents) with common interests join together to mutually satisfy their goals. The success of these communities relies on collaboration and resource sharing principals, making trust a priority for each member. Such communities need a more flexible trust model wherein both individual (i.e. usercentred) and collective (i.e. community-centred) trust requirements are considered in the decision making-process. This paper reports our on-going efforts in that perspective and presents a multiagent-based Adaptive and Socially-Compliant Trust Management System (ASC-TMS). Policies are used, in the system, to specify individual and collective trust requirements, while meta-policies enable agents to dynamically adapt their policies. The ASC-TMS allows agent to make socially-compliant trust decisions through automatic combination of individual and collective policies.

“…Several approaches have been proposed in the literature for the specification of open MASsee, for example, [4,5,42,64,3,75,6,74,41,32,14,11,35,77]. An influential approach has been the work of Moses, Shoham, Tennenholtz and colleagues [49,50,67,68,73,25].…”

Abstract. Multi-agent systems where the agents are developed by parties with competing interests, and where there is no access to an agent's internal state, are often classified as 'open'. The members of such systems may inadvertently fail to, or even deliberately choose not to, conform to the system specification. Consequently, it is necessary to specify the normative relations that may exist between the members, such as permission, obligation, and institutional power. We present a framework being developed for executable specification of open multi-agent systems. We adopt a bird's eye view of these systems, as opposed to an agent's perspective whereby it reasons about how it should act. This paper is devoted to the presentation of various examples from the NetBill protocol formalised in terms of institutional power, permission and obligation. We express the system specification in the Event Calculus and execute the specification by means of a logic programming implementation. We also give several example formalisations of sanctions for dealing with violations of permissions and obligations. We distinguish between an open multi-agent system and the procedure by which an agent enters and leaves the system. We present examples from the specification of a role-management protocol for NetBill, and demonstrate the interplay between such a protocol and the corresponding multi-agent system.

Abstract:This work studies how the notion of accountability can play a key role in the design and realization of distributed systems that are open and that involve autonomous agents that should harmonize their own goals with the organizational goals. The socio-technical systems that support the work inside human companies and organizations are examples of such systems. The approach that is proposed in order to pursue this purpose is set in the context of multiagent systems organizations, and relies on an explicit specification of relationships among the involved agents for capturing who is accountable to whom and for what. Such accountability relationships are created along with the agents' operations and interactions in a shared environment. In order to guarantee accountability as a design property of the system, a specific interaction protocol is suggested. Properties of this protocol are verified, and a case study is provided consisting of an actual implementation. Finally, we discuss the impact on real-world application domains and trace possible evolutions of the proposal.
