Agents on the Web (Dagstuhl Seminar 23081)

Authors: Olivier Boissier, Andrei Ciortea, Andreas Harth, Alessandro Ricci, and Danai Vachtsevanou

Published in: Dagstuhl Reports, Volume 13, Issue 2 (2023)


Abstract
Recent standardization on the Web of Things and (Social) Linked Data unlocks new practical use cases and new opportunities for research on Web-based multi-agent systems. While existing research on multi-agent systems can contribute to engineering adaptive and flexible Web-based systems, increased deployment of systems following the recent standards can bring new insight into engineering large-scale and open multi-agent systems. These developments motivate the need for a broader perspective that can only be achieved through a concerted effort of the research communities on Web Architecture and Web of Things, Semantic Web and Linked Data, and Autonomous Agents and Multi-Agent Systems. Thus, the main objective of the Dagstuhl Seminar 23081 on Agents on the Web was to investigate these new research opportunities, to support the transfer of knowledge and results across the different communities, and to create a network of leading scholars and practitioners around these topics. This report documents the seminar’s program and outcomes. To continue the joint work after the seminar, the seminar participants created the W3C Autonomous Agents on the Web (WebAgents) Community Group.

Autonomous Agents on the Web (Dagstuhl Seminar 21072)

Authors: Olivier Boissier, Andrei Ciortea, Andreas Harth, and Alessandro Ricci

Published in: Dagstuhl Reports, Volume 11, Issue 1 (2021)


Abstract
The World Wide Web has emerged as the middleware of choice for most distributed systems. Recent standardization efforts for the Web of Things and Linked Data are now turning hypermedia into a homogeneous information fabric that interconnects everything - devices, information resources, abstract concepts, etc. The latest standards allow clients not only to browse and query, but also to observe and act on this hypermedia fabric. Researchers and practitioners are already looking for means to build more sophisticated clients able to meet their design objectives through flexible autonomous use of this hypermedia fabric. Such autonomous agents have been studied to large extent in research on distributed artificial intelligence and, in particular, multi-agent systems. These recent developments thus motivate the need for a broader perspective that can only be achieved through a concerted effort of the research communities on the Web Architecture and the Web of Things, Semantic Web and Linked Data, and Autonomous Agents and Multi-Agent Systems. The Dagstuhl Seminar 21072 on "Autonomous Agents on the Web" brought together leading scholars and practitioners across these research areas in order to support the transfer of knowledge and results - and to discuss new opportunities for research on Web-based autonomous systems. This report documents the seminar’s program and outcomes.

A Framework for Normative MultiAgent Organisations

Authors: Olivier Boissier and Jomi Fred Hübner

Published in: Dagstuhl Seminar Proceedings, Volume 9121, Normative Multi-Agent Systems (2009)


Abstract
The social and organisational aspects of agency have led to a good amount of theoretical work in terms of formal models and theories. From these different works normative multiagent systems and multiagent organisations are particularily considered in this paper. Embodying such models and theories in the conception and engineering of proper infrastructures that achieve requirements of openness and adaptation, is still an open issue. In this direction, this paper presents and discusses a framework for normative multiagent organisations. Based on the Agents and Artifacts meta-model (A&A), it introduces organisational artifacts as first class entities to instrument the normative organisation for supporting agents activities within it.

Normative Multi-Agent Organizations: Modeling, Support and Control, Draft Version

Authors: Olivier Boissier and Benjamin Gâteau

Published in: Dagstuhl Seminar Proceedings, Volume 7122, Normative Multi-agent Systems (2007)


Abstract
In the last years, social and organizational aspects of agency have become a major issue in multi-agent systems' research. Recent applications of MAS enforce the need of using these aspects in order to ensure some social order within these systems. Tools to control and regulate the overall functioning of the system are needed in order to enforce global laws on the autonomous agents operating in it. This paper presents a normative organization system composed of a normative organization modeling language MOISEInst used to define the normative organization of a MAS, accompanied with SYNAI, a normative organization implementation architecture which is itself regulated with an explicit normative organization specification.
