Modelling alter egos in cyberspace: Who is responsible?

Abstract: Alter Egos represent people in Cyberspace. An Alter Ego is a kind of intelligent agent who is active in performing actions in behalf of the person it represents. How these Alter Egos can be modelled and constructed is discussed. In this context the question whether Alter Egos can be held responsible is studied. The tools we use for the modelling process are using Linguistic knowledge and are logically founded.
