Towards a framework for certification of reliable autonomous systems

M Fisher, V Mascardi, KY Rozier, BH Schlingloff… - Autonomous Agents and …, 2021 - Springer
A computational system is called autonomous if it is able to make its own decisions, or take
its own actions, without human supervision or control. The capability and spread of such …

[PDF][PDF] Norm Deviation in Multiagent Systems: A Foundation for Responsible Autonomy.

AM Singh, MP Singh - IJCAI, 2023 - ijcai.org
The power of norms in both human societies and sociotechnical systems arises from the
facts that (1) societal norms, including laws and policies, characterize acceptable behavior …

Evaluation of the moral permissibility of action plans

F Lindner, R Mattmüller, B Nebel - Artificial Intelligence, 2020 - Elsevier
Research in classical planning so far has been mainly concerned with generating a
satisficing or an optimal plan. However, if such systems are used to make decisions that are …

A normative approach for resilient multiagent systems

G Mahala, Ö Kafalı, H Dam, A Ghose… - Autonomous Agents and …, 2023 - Springer
We model a multiagent system (MAS) in socio-technical terms, combining a social layer
consisting of norms with a technical layer consisting of actions that the agents execute. This …

Mandrake: multiagent systems as a basis for programming fault-tolerant decentralized applications

SH Christie, AK Chopra, MP Singh - Autonomous Agents and Multi-Agent …, 2022 - Springer
We conceptualize a decentralized software application as one constituted from autonomous
agents that communicate via asynchronous messaging. Modern software paradigms such …

Monitoring arithmetic temporal properties on finite traces

P Felli, M Montali, F Patrizi, S Winkler - Proceedings of the AAAI …, 2023 - ojs.aaai.org
We study monitoring of linear-time arithmetic properties against finite traces generated by an
unknown dynamic system. The monitoring state is determined by considering at once the …
