An Agent-Based Model and Architecture for
Simulating Norm Dynamics, by Rosaria Conte (CNR, Rome, Italy)
Abstract
The innovation of norms among autonomous agents will be
described as a complex bidirectional process, including
emergence from the bottom-up and immergence from the top down. A
deliberative agent architecture, EMIL-A, will be described in
detail and used as a platform (EMIL-S) for simulating norm
recognition and spreading, comparing it with alternative agent
models. Interestingly, EMIL-A is a flexible system, accounting
not only for norm-related decisions, but also for thoughtless
conformity and norm internalization. Current developments in the
direction of semi-automated normative behavior and
internalization will be presented.
