“…The concept of stigmergy is used to represent action at a collective level, specifically the indirect coordination between actors mediated by marks left in the environment. As this paper is focused on the representation of action at the individual level, therefore the coordination mechanisms will not be discussed (Afoutni, 2012;Afoutni et al, 2010). The choice of MAS was natural because it allows one to implement explicitly everything related to human activity and, as we will demonstrate, to situated action as well.…”

Abstract:This paper presents a model to represent situated action in farming systems. The basic idea is to invert the classical vision of action that stipulates that action is a consequence of a decision process and a plan. We consider action as mainly dictated by a situation created by the interaction of the actor and his/her environment. Hence, action is a process that emerges from this situation. Thus, in this paper we treat the question of how to model action as an emergence process from the situations created by actors and their environment? For this, our model is based on multiagent system as well as on the affordance, emergence and stigmergy concepts (this paper emphasizes mainly the first two).

“…This concept has been developed in various works to determine that affordance is rather an emergent property of the pair actor-environment (Stoffregen, 2003;Chemero, 2003). The concept of affordance is closely related to the notion of situation defined as a set of resources and constraints with which an actor interacts (Afoutni, 2012).…”
