1 Agreement Technologies Action IC0801 Sascha Ossowski

2 Agreement Technologies Large-scale open distributed systems Social Science Area of enormous social and economic potential Paradigm Shift: beyond the client-server architectures Agreement Vision: A paradigm for next-generation open distributed systems, based on the concept of agreement between computational agents. Multiagent Systems Semantic Technologies

3 Strands of research Fundamental and applied research: : Semantic mismatches & alignment of ontologies : Specify and verify constraints on agreement Organisations: Structure the processes of reaching agreements & Negotiation: Reach agreements that respect the constraints imposed by norms and organisations : Summarise the history of agreements and agreement executions in order to build long-term relation & Negotiation Organisations Interdisciplinary research: Solid conceptual foundations: robust understanding of the notion of agreement and agreement processes

4 COST Action on Agreement Technologies Several research initiatives are currently ongoing around Europe and worldwide that address (some of) these challenges COST Action IC0801 on Agreement Technologies : Europ. Cooperation in the field of Scientific and Technical Research Duration: 10/ /2012 (4 years) Overall mission: to support and promote the harmonization of nationally-funded high-quality research towards a new paradigm for next generation distributed systems based on the notion of agreement between computational agents... Networking activities: coordination of research & training

5 Action Activities Activity A1: Working Group Workshops Research coordination through effective knowledge and result exchange Focused und the five key topics of Agreement Technologies Activity A2: Ad hoc Seminars Small-scale (low cost) meetings, possibly co-located with other events Activity A3: Coordination visits for senior researchers STSM programme: joint research/ funding proposal preparation Activity A4: Training visits for early-stage researchers STSM programme: European PhD label/ jointly supervised PhDs Activity A5: Early-stage-researchers meetings Raise awareness of the necessities of PhD students and young PostDocs

6 Action Activities Activity A6: Training School in Agreement Technologies Training events open to both participants from academia and industry Possibly in co-operation with existing training schools Activity A7: Agreement Technologies Industrial Days Project the prospective benefits of AT to European Industry Activity A8: Agreement Technologies Handbook Reference for the state of the art in AT, its applications and industrial potential Activity A9: Dissemination and Exploitation Classic dissemination means including liaisons & central Action Web Site Promotion of bi/multi-lateral research funding proposals among members

7 COST Action on Agreement Technologies Action member countries (as of September 2009): 21 countries signed MoU 5 non-cost countries MC: up to 2 representatives per Action member country Scientists from Action member countries can fully participate in the Action s activities COST Open door policy

10 Working groups Semantic alignment: to explore the right tradeoffs between expressivity and efficiency for ontology, mapping and query languages in a distributed setting to study semantic alignment protocols and algorithms interweaving alignment and negotiation, and possibly taking into account measures of trust Alignment with standards: to explore how existing standardization efforts can be enhanced to cater for agreement relevant information, and how these additions can be exploited WG5 WG4 Negotation & WG1 WG1 WG3 Organisation WG2

11 Working groups Normative reasoning and negotiated flexibility to interpret and instantiate norms to specific situations; to resolve conflicts between norms, especially when applied to a specific case to study norm transgression as a motor for the evolution of norms (and organisational change) Usability of norms: enhance user awareness of (and control on) norms WG5 WG4 Negotation & WG1 WG2 WG3 Organisation WG2

12 Working groups Design and evolution of organisations to advance on effective guidelines & tools for the design of organisational structures, especially wrt. the reuse of norms/organisational patterns to account for organisational change, as in open environments organisational structures continuously evolve so as to efficiently promote effective teamwork Organisational Teamwork to exploit organisational information in the processes of team formation, cooperation, and dissolution, based upon dynamic agreements at runtime WG5 WG4 Negotation & WG1 WG3 Organisation WG3 Organisation WG2

13 Working groups in negotiation: to look into frameworks that integrate argumentation in negotiation, so as to supply the negotiating parties with additional information and help them convince each other by adequate arguments. WG5 WG1 WG2 Strategies for bounded interactions: to study mechanisms that can meet the computational bounds to agreement processes based on argumentation and negotiation WG4 Negotiation & WG4 Negotation & WG3 Organisation

14 Working groups Advanced trust mechanisms: Scalability: how to develop trust mechanisms based on other agents opinions that scale on large societies : how to deal with erroneous behaviour that may be caused by misunderstandings Similarity: how to use similar cases when exact past experiences for an agreement under discussion is scarce WG5 WG5 WG1 WG2 Balance between norms and trust: The more norms can be enforced, the less need to rely on trust measures, but norm enforcement has an associated cost WG4 Negotation & WG3 Organisation
