Chapter and Conference Paper
The selection of members responsible for data replication is a challenge in decentralised record-kee** systems. In ‘permissioned’ systems, this crucial task is performed by a central authority or consortium....

Chapter and Conference Paper
Online social networks are known to lack adequate multi-user privacy support. In this paper we present EXPRI, an agent architecture that aims to assist users in managing multi-user privacy conflicts. By consid...
Chapter and Conference Paper
Applying Theory of Mind to multi-agent systems enables agents to model and reason about other agents’ minds. Recent work shows that this ability could increase the performance of agents, making them more effic...
Chapter and Conference Paper
Recent studies have shown that applying Theory of Mind to agent technologies enables agents to model and reason about other agents’ minds, making them more efficient than agents that do not have this ability o...
Article
This paper considers the convergence of trading strategies among artificial traders connected to one another in a social network and trading in a continuous double auction financial marketplace. Convergence is...
Chapter and Conference Paper
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...
Chapter and Conference Paper
A dynamic framework, based on the Dynamic Logic of Propositional Assignments ( \(\mathsf {DL\text {-}PA}\) ),...
Chapter and Conference Paper
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, ...
Chapter and Conference Paper
In this paper we investigate the possibility of spontaneous segregation into groups of traders that have to choose among several markets. Even in the simplest case of two markets and Zero Intelligence traders,...
Chapter and Conference Paper
Due to their immense complexity, large-scale multiagent systems are often unamenable to exhaustive formal verification. Statistical approaches that focus on the verification of individual traces can provide an...
Chapter and Conference Paper
This paper presents the design and simulation of direct exchange mechanisms for pricing European options. It extends McAfee’s single-unit double auction to multi-unit format, and then applies it for pricing op...
Chapter and Conference Paper
Software design is an important creative step in the engineering of software systems, yet we know surprisingly little about how humans actually do it. While it has been argued before that there is a need for f...
Chapter and Conference Paper
This paper focusses on the usefulness of approximate probabilistic model checking for the internal and external validation of large-scale agent-based simulations. We describe the translation of typical validat...
Chapter and Conference Paper
Dynamic and heterogeneous service-oriented systems present challenges when develo** composite applications that exhibit specified quality properties. Resource heterogeneity, mobility, and a large number of s...
Article
Nowadays, many websites allow social networking between their users in an explicit or implicit way. In this work, we show how argumentation schemes theory can provide a valuable help to formalize and structure...
Article
The notion of Multi-Agent System environment is currently considered as a mediating entity, functioning as enabler but possibly also as a manager and constrainer of agent actions, perceptions, and interactions...
Chapter and Conference Paper
To what extent do networks of influence between market traders impact upon their individual performance and the performance of the specialists in which they operate? Such a question underpins the content of th...
Article
In this paper we present the argument-based model proCLAIM, intended to provide a setting for heterogeneous agents to deliberate over safety critical actions. To achieve this purpose proCLAIM features a Mediator ...
Article
In this paper we demonstrate how a qualitative framework for decision making can be used to model scenarios from experimental economic studies and we show how our approach explains the results that have been r...
