Towards a Multiagent System for Competitive Website Ratings
- Websites usually appear to the web surfer like isolated islands: Their self-description and their hyperlinks linking to other sites reflect solely the requirements, opinion and preferences of the respective site owner, there is no explicit relation to the information, service and product offers of c

Empirical Semantics of Agent Communication in Open Systems
- The paper proposes a novel approach to the semantics of communication of self-interested and autonomous agents in open systems. It defines the semantics of communicative acts primarily as the observable e#ect of their actual use in social encounters, and di#ers thus fundamentally from mentalistic an

Multiagent Systems without Agents - Mirror-Holons for the Compilation and Enactment of Communication Structures
- Abstract. It is widely accepted in Distributed Artificial Intelligence that a crucial property of artificial agents is their autonomy. Whereas agent autonomy enables features of agent-based applications like flexibility, robustness and emergence of novel solutions, autonomy might be also the reason

Agent-based Social Assessment of Shared Resources
- Abstract. Prior to the access to decentralized resources like web services and shared files in peer-to-peer networks, the user needs to be provided with accurate information about these resources. While some of them can be specified impartially, other descriptions might be biased by individual prefe

A Framework for the Social Description of Resources in Open Environments
- The description of public resources such as web site contents, web services or data files in open peer-to-peer networks using some formal framework like RDF usually reflects solely the subjective requirements, opinion and preferences of the resource provider. In some sense, such resource descript

Communication Systems: A Unified Model of Socially Intelligent Systems
- This paper introduces communication systems (CS) as a unified model for socially intelligent systems. This model derived from sociological systems theory, combines the empirical analysis of communication in a social system with logical processing of social information to provide a general framewo

Empirical-Rational Semantics of Agent Communication
- The missing of an appropriate semantics of agent communication languages is one of the most challenging issues of contemporary AI. Although several approaches to this problem exist, none of them is really suitable for dealing with agent autonomy, which is a decisive property of artificial agents. Th

Interaction is Meaning: A New Model for Communication in Open Systems
- We propose a new model for agent communication in open systems that is based on the principle that the meaning of communicative acts lies in their experienced consequences. A formal framework for analysing such evolving semantics is defined. An extensive analysis of example interaction processes sho

A Schema for Specifying Computational Autonomy
- A key property associated with computational agency is autonomy, and it is broadly agreed that agents as autonomous entities (or autonomous software in general) have the capacity to become an enabling technology for a variety of complex applications in fields such as telecommunications, e/m-comm

Social annotation of semantically heterogeneous knowledge
- Abstract. An important kind of tacit knowledge in the context of the Semantic Web are the social communication structures among heterogeneous knowledge sources and users. Communication structures heavily influence the way knowledge is generated and used, because in a context of distributed and auton
