📖 Description

Practical Reasoning with Norms for Autonomous Software Agents (Full Edition) Zohreh Shamsa,1, , Marina De Vosa, Julian Padgeta, Wamberto W. Vasconcelosb aDepartment of Computer Science, University of Bath, UK (BA2 6AH) bDepartment of Computing Science, University of Aberdeen, UK (AB24 3UE) Abstract Autonomous software agents operating in dynamic environments need to constantly reason about actions in pursuit of their goals, while taking into consideration norms which might be imposed on those actions. Normative practical reasoning supports agents making decisions about what is best for them to (not) do in a given situation. What makes practical reasoning chal- lenging is the interplay between goals that agents are pursuing and the norms that the agents are trying to uphold. We o er a formalisation to allow agents to plan for multiple goals and norms in the presence of durative actions that can be executed concurrently . We compare plans based on decision-theoretic notions (i.e. util...

📊 Game Impacts

Not verified in game

Which variables this event was proposed to move, and in which direction. The magnitudes are held in the corpus but are not shown here, because they have not been verified against the shipped game. They come from pdoom-data. They describe what an event was proposed to do, not what the shipped game does with it. Most events in the corpus are flavour: they are shown for colour and do not move any game variable. Only a small minority reach the systems below, and several of the variables listed here are not read by the game at all yet. Treat this table as a design proposal under review, not as a measurement of play. Corrections and arguments are welcome — the suggestion links at the foot of this page go straight to the data repo.
