The introduction of artificial teammates in the form of autonomous social robots, with fewer
social abilities compared to humans, presents new challenges for human–robot team …

Automatic tagging on software information sites is a tag recommendation service. It aims to
recommend content-based tags for a software object to help developers make distinctions …

The study of autonomous agents has a long history in the Multiagent System and the
Semantic Web communities, with applications ranging from automating business processes …

Advances in AI techniques and computing platforms have triggered a lively and expanding
discourse on ethical decision making by autonomous agents. Much recent work in AI …

This work proposes a notion of accountability for multi-agent systems, that supports the
development of robust distributed systems. Accountability is grounded on responsibility, and …

Multiagent system models do not typically encompass tools for tack-ling abnormal or
exceptional situations. When a critical situation arises, and individual agents fail, the system …

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

Communication protocols are central to engineering decentralized multiagent systems.
Modern protocol languages are typically formal and address aspects of decentralization …

We address the problem of engineering a sociotechnical system (STS) with respect to its
stakeholders' requirements. We motivate a two-tier STS conception composed of a technical …

We conceptualize a decentralized software application as one constituted from autonomous
agents that communicate via asynchronous messaging. Modern software paradigms such …
