Abstract Internet of Things (IoT) is often envisioned as a paradigm shift from the traditional
Internet to a scenario where all the “things” will be connected with the Internet. IoT forced the …

This paper provides a starting point for the development of metacognition in a common
model of cognition. It identifies significant theoretical work on metacognition from multiple …

Traditionally, distributed computing concentrates on computation understood at the level of
information exchange and sets aside human and organizational concerns as largely to be …

Technology for supporting people in their daily lives such as personal assistant agents and
smart homes carry great potential for making our lives more connected, healthy, efficient and …

Agent-based modeling is increasingly being used in computational epidemiology to
characterize important behavioral dimensions, such as the heterogeneity of the individual …

The increasing presence of autonomous (software) systems in open environments in
general, and the complex interactions taking place among them in particular, require flexible …

Norms provide a way to model the social architecture of a sociotechnical system (STS) and
are thus crucial for understanding how such a system supports secure collaboration …

In this paper, we consider the runtime monitoring of norms with imperfect monitors. A monitor
is imperfect for a norm if it has insufficient observational capabilities to determine if a given …

The use of norms is widely accepted as an effective approach to control and regulate the
behaviour of agents in multiagent systems. Existing work on normative multi-agent systems …

Norms describe the social architecture of a society and govern the interactions of its member
agents. It may be appropriate for an agent to deviate from a norm; the deviation being …
