Abstract

In this paper we describe how our previously proposed role model agent mechanism for norm emergence can be applied to artificial agent societies with network topologies that are changing dynamically. Dynamically changing network topologies account for agents joining and leaving the network and the links that are created and removed between agents in a society. In order to construct a dynamically changing network we have adopted a model representing agents as particles colliding in a social space. We demonstrate that the role model agent mechanism for norm emergence works on top of dynamically created network topologies that represent social relationship structures.
