Agentifying Agentic AI
Virginia Dignum, Frank Dignum
Agentic AI seeks to endow systems with sustained autonomy, reasoning, and interaction capabilities. To realize this vision, its assumptions about agency must be complemented by exp…
Cooperative Multi-agent Approach for Automated Computer Game Testing
Samira Shirzadeh-hajimahmood, I. S. W. B. Prasteya, Mehdi Dastani +1
Automated testing of computer games is a challenging problem, especially when lengthy scenarios have to be tested. Automating such a scenario boils down to finding the right sequen…
Human-AI Coevolution
Dino Pedreschi, Luca Pappalardo, Emanuele Ferragina +14
Human-AI coevolution, defined as a process in which humans and AI algorithms continuously influence each other, increasingly characterises our society, but is understudied in artif…
On the importance of AI research beyond disciplines
Virginia Dignum, Donal Casey, Teresa Cerratto-Pargman +17
As the impact of AI on various scientific fields is increasing, it is crucial to embrace interdisciplinary knowledge to understand the impact of technology on society. The goal is…
An Online Agent-Based Search Approach in Automated Computer Game Testing with Model Construction
Samira Shirzadehhajimahmood, I. S. W. B. Prasetya, Frank Dignum +1
The complexity of computer games is ever increasing. In this setup, guiding an automated test algorithm to find a solution to solve a testing task in a game's huge interaction spac…
Social Practices for Social Driven Conversations in Serious Games
Agnese Augello, Manuel Gentile, Frank Dignum
This paper describes the model of social practice as a theoretical framework to manage conversation with the specific goal of training physicians in communicative skills. To this a…
Social Practices: a Complete Formalization
Frank Dignum
Multi-agent models are a suitable starting point to model complex social interactions. However, as the complexity of the systems increase, we argue that novel modeling approaches a…
Linking sanctions to norms in practice
René Mellema, Frank Dignum
Within social simulation, we often want agents to interact both with larger systems of norms, as well as respond to their own and other agents norm violations. However, there are c…
An Appraisal Transition System for Event-driven Emotions in Agent-based Player Experience Testing
Saba Gholizadeh Ansari, I. S. W. B. Prasetya, Mehdi Dastani +2
Player experience (PX) evaluation has become a field of interest in the game industry. Several manual PX techniques have been introduced to assist developers to understand and eval…
Analysing the combined health, social and economic impacts of the corovanvirus pandemic using agent-based social simulation
Frank Dignum, Virginia Dignum, Paul Davidsson +11
During the COVID-19 crisis there have been many difficult decisions governments and other decision makers had to make. E.g. do we go for a total lock down or keep schools open? How…
Give more data, awareness and control to individual citizens, and they will help COVID-19 containment
Mirco Nanni, Gennady Andrienko, Albert-László Barabási +36
The rapid dynamics of COVID-19 calls for quick and effective tracking of virus transmission chains and early detection of outbreaks, especially in the phase 2 of the pandemic, when…
Social rules for agent systems
René Mellema, Maarten Jensen, Frank Dignum
When creating (open) agent systems it has become common practice to use social concepts such as social practices, norms and conventions to model the way the interactions between th…
Governance by Glass-Box: Implementing Transparent Moral Bounds for AI Behaviour
Andrea Aler Tubella, Andreas Theodorou, Virginia Dignum +1
Artificial Intelligence (AI) applications are being used to predict and assess behaviour in multiple domains, such as criminal justice and consumer finance, which directly affect h…
Incorporating social practices in BDI agent systems
Stephen Cranefield, Frank Dignum
When agents interact with humans, either through embodied agents or because they are embedded in a robot, it would be easy if they could use fixed interaction protocols as they do…
On the Enactability of Agent Interaction Protocols: Toward a Unified Approach
Angelo Ferrando, Michael Winikoff, Stephen Cranefield +2
Interactions between agents are usually designed from a global viewpoint. However, the implementation of a multi-agent interaction is distributed. This difference can introduce iss…
Interactions as Social Practices: towards a formalization
Frank Dignum
Multi-agent models are a suitable starting point to model complex social interactions. However, as the complexity of the systems increase, we argue that novel modeling approaches a…
Social planning for social HRI
Liz Sonenberg, Tim Miller, Adrian Pearce +3
Making a computational agent 'social' has implications for how it perceives itself and the environment in which it is situated, including the ability to recognise the behaviours of…
