A key question in the field of agent-oriented software engineering is how the kind and extent of autonomy owned by computational agents can be appropriately captured. As long as ...
Through adjustable autonomy (AA), an agent can dynamically vary the degree to which it acts autonomously, allowing it to exploit human abilities to improve its performance, but wi...
This paper proposes an alternative paradigm for building affective competencies in embodied conversational agents (ECAs). The key feature of this approach -- and the reason for ref...
Abstract. The deployment of agent societies —as complex systems— in dynamic and unpredictable settings brings forth critical issues concerning their design. Organizational mode...
