Policy Modeling and Reasoning in Sociotechnical Systems (Dagstuhl Seminar 25271)

Authors: Marina De Vos, Nicoletta Fornara, Munindar P. Singh, Leon van der Torre, and Jessica Woodgate

Published in: Dagstuhl Reports, Volume 15, Issue 6 (2026)

Abstract
This report documents the program and the outcomes of Dagstuhl Seminar 25271 "Policy Modeling and Reasoning in Sociotechnical Systems". This seminar brought together researchers from academia and industry who are interested in studying the intersection between computer science, philosophy, logic, ethics, and law to discuss policy modelling and reasoning in a world where computers and humans need to work together. After lightning talks, two invited talks, and an open space topic gathering activity, we settled on four topics for deeper discussion in working groups, interspersed by primer talks from the various communities. The four topics were: 1) Concepts: What are the underlying aspects of this interdisciplinary field, and can they be defined consistently? 2) Agentic AI: How can we enable agents to interact and reason with human users through large language models? 3) Standardisation: How can we facilitate data sharing and compliance in international work with competing business interests? 4) Coevolution: How can we make sure that sociotechnical systems evolve with the societies they operate in? This report provides the abstracts of the talks, including participants' lightning talks, the two invited talks, and four primers, along with short reports from each working group detailing their discussions, including challenges and future opportunities.

Autonomy in the Age of Knowledge Graphs: Vision and Challenges

Authors: Jean-Paul Calbimonte, Andrei Ciortea, Timotheus Kampik, Simon Mayer, Terry R. Payne, Valentina Tamma, and Antoine Zimmermann

Published in: TGDK, Volume 1, Issue 1 (2023): Special Issue on Trends in Graph Data and Knowledge. Transactions on Graph Data and Knowledge, Volume 1, Issue 1

Abstract
In this position paper, we propose that Knowledge Graphs (KGs) are one of the prime approaches to support the programming of autonomous software systems at the knowledge level. From this viewpoint, we survey how KGs can support different dimensions of autonomy in such systems: For example, the autonomy of systems with respect to their environment, or with respect to organisations; and we discuss related practical and research challenges. We emphasise that KGs need to be able to support systems of autonomous software agents that are themselves highly heterogeneous, which limits how these systems may use KGs. Furthermore, these heterogeneous software agents may populate highly dynamic environments, which implies that they require adaptive KGs. The scale of the envisioned systems - possibly stretching to the size of the Internet - highlights the maintainability of the underlying KGs that need to contain large-scale knowledge, which requires that KGs are maintained jointly by humans and machines. Furthermore, autonomous agents require procedural knowledge, and KGs should hence be explored more towards the provisioning of such knowledge to augment autonomous behaviour. Finally, we highlight the importance of modelling choices, including with respect to the selected abstraction level when modelling and with respect to the provisioning of more expressive constraint languages.

Regulated MAS: Social Perspective

Authors: Pablo Noriega, Amit K. Chopra, Nicoletta Fornara, Henrique Lopes Cardoso, and Munindar P. Singh

Published in: Dagstuhl Follow-Ups, Volume 4, Normative Multi-Agent Systems (2013)

Abstract
This chapter addresses the problem of building normative multiagent systems in terms of regulatory mechanisms. It describes a static conceptual model through which one can specify normative multiagent systems along with a dynamic model to capture their operation and evolution. The chapter proposes a typology of applications and presents some open problems. In the last section, the authors express their individual views on these matters.
