Abstract

Concepts, models and theories from the social sciences are studied in multi-agent systems to regulate or control interactions among agents. Examples of social concepts studied in multi-agent systems are societies, coalitions, organizations, institutions, norms, power, and trust [4]. We argue in our thesis that this list should be extended with a social-cognitive concept concerned with agent interaction which is used frequently in the social sciences, and has been discussed in applications of multi-agent systems where artificial and human agents interact like ambient intelligence, social intelligence design, digital cities and virtual communities. This concept is called conviviality.
