Research

My PhD project is called Organization-Oriented Programming in Multi-Agent Systems. I am investigating how to create agents that are organization-aware, which means that are able to reason about the organizations they are a part of. This includes reasoning about whether to join an organization or not, and how to incorporate obligations and prohibitions into the agent deliberation process. My research is focused on

• formalizing agent organizations,
• agents reasoning about joining and leaving an organization,
• agents that are norm-aware (e.g. can violate norms on purpose to achieve their goals), and
• how to program organization-aware agents.
