Tosca: operationalizing commitments over information protocols
August 2017
IJCAI'17: Proceedings of the 26th International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence
Publisher: AAAI Press
The notion of commitment is widely studied as a high-level abstraction for modeling multiagent interaction. An important challenge is supporting flexible decentralized enactments of commitment specifications. In this paper, we combine recent advances on specifying commitments and information protocols . Specifically, we contribute Tosca, a technique for automatically synthesizing information ...

We seek to address the challenge of engineering socially intelligent personal agents that are privacy-aware. We propose Arnor, a method, including a metamodel based on social constructs. Arnor incorporates social norms and goes beyond existing agent-oriented software engineering (AOSE) methods by systematically capturing how a personal agent's actions influence the ...

The Blindingly Simple Protocol Language (BSPL) is a novel information-based approach for specifying interaction protocols that can be enacted by agents in a fully decentralized manner via asynchronous messaging. We introduce Splee, an extension of BSPL. The extensions fall into two broad categories: multicast and roles. In Splee, a role ...

Social network services (SNSs) enable users to conveniently share personal information. Often, the information shared concerns other people, especially other members of the SNS. In such situations, two or more people can have conflicting privacy preferences; thus, an appropriate sharing policy may not be apparent. We identify such situations as ...

Privacy Risks in Intelligent User Interfaces
November 2016
IEEE Internet Computing: Volume 20 Issue 6, November 2016
Publisher: IEEE Educational Activities Department
Intelligent user interfaces (in games, for example) provide opportunities for producing a high-quality, contextually relevant user experience. However, they also raise the specter of privacy violations. The authors review some of the ways in which user interfaces could glean a users private information; then the authors highlight the risks therein, ...

Sociotechnical systems (STSs), where users interact with software components, support automated logging, i.e., what a user has performed in the system. However, most systems do not implement automated processes for inspecting the logs when a misuse happens. Deciding what needs to be logged is crucial as excessive amounts of logs ...

Norms as a basis for governing sociotechnical systems
July 2015
IJCAI'15: Proceedings of the 24th International Conference on Artificial Intelligence
Publisher: AAAI Press
We understand a sociotechnical system as a microsociety in which autonomous parties interact with and about technical objects. We define governance as the administration of such a system by its participants. We develop an approach for governance based on a computational representation of norms. Our approach has the benefit of ...

Composing and verifying commitment-based multiagent protocols
July 2015
IJCAI'15: Proceedings of the 24th International Conference on Artificial Intelligence
Publisher: AAAI Press
We consider the design and enactment of multi-agent protocols that describe collaboration using "normative" or "social" abstractions, specifically, commitments. A (multiagent) protocol defines the relevant social states and how they progress; each participant maintains a local projection of these states and acts accordingly. Protocols expose two important challenges: (1) how ...

Muon: designing multiagent communication protocols from interaction scenarios
July 2015
Autonomous Agents and Multi-Agent Systems: Volume 29 Issue 4, July 2015
Publisher: Kluwer Academic Publishers
Designing a suitable communication protocol is a key challenge in engineering a multiagent system. This paper proposes Muon, an approach that begins from representative samples of interactions or scenarios. Muon identifies key semantic structures and patterns based on (social) commitments to formally analyze the scenarios and offers a methodology for ...

We introduce a high-level abstraction of location called place . A place derives its meaning from a user's physical space, activities, or social context. In this manner, place can facilitate improved user experience compared to the traditional representation of location, which is spatial coordinates. We propose the Platys framework as ...

The interoperability of interacting components means that their expectations of each other remain in agreement. A commitment captures what one agent (its creditor) may expect from another agent (its debtor). Chopra and Singh (C&S) motivate commitment alignment as a meaning-based form of interoperation and show how to ensure alignment among ...

Cupid: commitments in relational algebra
January 2015
AAAI'15: Proceedings of the Twenty-Ninth AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence
Publisher: AAAI Press
We propose Cupid, a language for specifying commitments that supports their information-centric aspects, and offers crucial benefits. One, Cupid is first-order, enabling a systematic treatment of commitment instances. Two, Cupid supports features needed for real-world scenarios such as deadlines, nested commitments, and complex event expressions for capturing the lifecycle of ...

The science of security: introduction from the perspective of secure collaboration
May 2014
ACySE '14: Proceedings of the 1st International Workshop on Agents and CyberSecurity
Publisher: ACM
Despite sustained research effort in security, current security practice conveys a decidedly ad hoc flavor---find a bug; patch it; find the next bug; and so on. This methodology is sometimes termed engineering , using the term in the narrow sense of developing solutions to specific problems. The past few years ...

We introduce Xipho, an agent-oriented methodology for engineering context-aware personal agents (CPAs). Xipho extends Tropos to support CPA development. Xipho's steps span a CPA's requirements acquisition, design, and implementation. Importantly, we treat context as a cognitive notion and systematically relate it to other cognitive notions such as goals and plans. ...

The normative concepts offer a principled basis for engineering flexible multiagent systems for business and other cross-organizational settings. However, producing suitable specifications is nontrivial: the difficulty is an obstacle to the adoption of multiagent systems in industry.
