A norms mining approach to norms detection in multi-agent systems

Summary: | In this paper, we propose a norms mining
technique for a visitor agent to detect the norms of a community
of local agents to comply with the community's normative
protocol. In this technique, the visitor agent is equipped with an
algorithm, which detects the potential norms through the
system's log file, interactions with the local agents, and observing
the local agents in action. The visitor agent detects the norms
from these sources depending on their availability. Due to
security issues, access is prevented to one or more of these
sources. The norms mining technique entails the process of data
formatting and filtering and identifying the norms' components
that contribute to the strength of the norms. The results of an
example mining operation show that the technique is successful
in discovering the potential norms. |
