A Liberal Approach to Openness in Societies of Agents.

We outline a model for a society of agents based upon one of the classical theories of sociology: The Weber’s model. We first investigate its links to agent technology through its relationship with the modeling of micro economy and the concept of expected utility. Then, some of the features of an agent society are enhanced by imposing security and validation requirements. We show that a societal concept from Sociology can be implemented through methods of Computer Science and thus is made feasible. Key-words: Society of agents, sociology, security, knowledge society, legal validation.
