Simple Framework for Interpretable Fine-Grained Text Classification
Fine-grained text classification with similar and many labels is a challenge in practical applications. Interpreting predictions in this context is particularly difficult. To address this, we propose a simple ...

Open AccessCombining theory of mind and abductive reasoning in agent-oriented programming
This paper presents a novel model, called TomAbd, that endows autonomous agents with Theory of Mind capabilities. TomAbd agents are able to simulate the perspective of the world that their peers have and reason f...

Collaborative Filtering to Capture AI User’s Preferences as Norms
Customising AI technologies to each user’s preferences is fundamental to them functioning well. Unfortunately, current methods require too much user involvement and fail to capture their true preferences. In f...

Approaching AI: A Practical Guide to Understanding and Using AI for HCI
Artificial intelligence (AI), is an important evolution in computer science that is only beginning to take hold within the HCI communities. But while the science of AI was twice pronounced dead, it continues t...

Domestic Nature-Based Tourism and Wellbeing: A Roadmap for the New Normal?
Since most tourism experiences occur in the natural environment, nature-based tourism (NBT) is probably the largest and most popular form of tourism. Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, a multitude of studies have...

An Investigation of Argumentation Framework Characteristics
We investigate the relationship between the structural properties of argumentation frameworks and their argument-based characteristics, examining the characteristics of structures of Dung-style frameworks and ...

Team Persuasion
We consider two teams of agents engaging in a debate to persuade an audience of the acceptability of a central argument. This is modelled by a bipartite abstract argumentation framework with a distinguished to...

Open AccessEstablishing norms with metanorms over interaction topologies
Norms are a valuable means of establishing coherent cooperative behaviour in decentralised systems in which there is no central authority. Axelrod’s seminal model of norm establishment in populations of self-i...

Resource Re-allocation for Data Inter-dependent Continuous Tasks in Grids
Many researchers focus on resource intensive tasks which have to be run continuously over long periods. A Grid may offer resources for these tasks, but they are contested by multiple client agents. Hence, a Gr...

Negotiation strategy for continuous long-term tasks in a grid environment
Nowadays, much research is concerned with execution of long-term continuous tasks, which produce data in real time, e.g. monitoring applications. These tasks can be run for months or years and they are usually...

A coherence maximisation process for solving normative inconsistencies
Norms can be used in multi-agent systems for defining patterns of behaviour in terms of permissions, prohibitions and obligations that are addressed to agents playing a specific role. Agents may play different...

\( \texttt {MC} ^ \texttt {2} \texttt {MABS} \) : A Monte Carlo Model Checker for Multiagent-Based Simulations
Agent-based simulation has shown great success for the study of complex adaptive systems and could in many areas show advantages over traditional analytical methods. Due to their internal complexity, however, ...

Evaluating how agent methodologies support the specification of the normative environment through the development process
Due to the increase in collaborative work and the decentralization of processes in many domains, there is an expanding demand for large-scale, flexible and adaptive software systems to support the interactions...

Monitoring compliance with E-contracts and norms
The behaviour of autonomous agents may deviate from that deemed to be for the good of the societal systems of which they are a part. Norms have therefore been proposed as a means to regulate agent behaviours i...
