Different Facets for Different Experts: A Framework for Streamlining The Integration of Qualitative Insights into ABM Development
Vivek Nallur, Pedram Aghaei, Graham Finlay
A key problem in agent-based simulation is that integrating qualitative insights from multiple discipline experts is extremely hard. In most simulations, agent capabilities and cor…
Nudging Using Autonomous Agents: Risks and Ethical Considerations
Vivek Nallur, Karen Renaud, Aleksei Gudkov
This position paper briefly discusses nudging, its use by autonomous agents, potential risks and ethical considerations while creating such systems. Instead of taking a normative a…
Virtue Ethics For Ethically Tunable Robotic Assistants
Rajitha Ramanayake, Vivek Nallur
The common consensus is that robots designed to work alongside or serve humans must adhere to the ethical standards of their operational environment. To achieve this, several metho…
(Demo) Systematic Experimentation Using Scenarios in Agent Simulation: Going Beyond Parameter Space
Vivek Nallur, Pedram Aghaei, Graham Finlay
This paper demonstrates a disconnected ABM architecture that enables domain experts, and non-programmers to add qualitative insights into the ABM model without the intervention of…
