Specifying and enforcing norms in artificial institutions
In this paper we investigate two related aspects of the formalization of open interaction systems: how to specify norms, and how to enforce them by means of sanctions. The problem...

What should the agent know?: the challenge of capturing human knowledge
Reports of applications that include agent-based models of human behaviour tend to focus on the applications themselves and the success of the modelling exercise. They give little...

Do humans identify efficient strategies in structured peer-to-peer systems?
In the last years, distributed coordinator-free systems, e.g., peerto-peer systems (P2P systems), have attracted much interest among researchers and practitioners. In these system...

Physical parameter optimization in swarms of ultra-low complexity agents
Physical agents (such as wheeled vehicles, UAVs, hovercraft, etc.) with simple control systems are often sensitive to changes in their physical design and control parameters. As s...
