....not only their name with Conte and Castelfranchi s plan autonomous and goal autonomous systems, they are equivalent to these systems. Type IV is comparable to Dennett s moral personhood. A need for models on this level is signaled by several researchers (cf. e.g. 53] 68] 33] 128] 70] [64]) who have noted the limitations of Newell s knowledge level [85] The knowledge level can be used to model systems up to goal autonomous systems, but for normative evaluations, another level may be needed. This level received di#erent names, such as organizational level [53] cooperation ....

....situations and several definitions of rationality. The original knowledge level analysis would be the special case with only one agent and (thus) rationality being equal to e#cient goal directed behavior. Social knowledge is then just one of the many forms of knowledge. This approach is used in [64] to develop a society level view of multiagent systems. In the typology proposed above, the model an agent may develop of other agents is implied by its agent type. Agents are able to model the decision making model of other agents as up to and including the agent s own level in the typology of ....

....by some comments on the intersection between the fields, i.e. in what cases we may use game theory in a purposeful way in MAS s. At the end of the chapter there is an outline for the rest of the thesis. 1. 1 The society level of MAS The society level view (as proposed by e.g. Gustavsson [38] and Jennings [44] of MAS s is a way to partition different aspects of the system into three components. The hypothesis is that each MAS consists of Agents, Coordination Mechanisms, and a Context as illustrated in figure 1.1 below. Since the area of agent research is one of the younger ones in ....

....situations and several definitions of rationality. The original knowledge level analysis would be the special case with only one agent and (thus) rationality being equal to efficient goal directed behavior. Social knowledge is then just one of the many forms of knowledge. This approach is used in [39] to develop a society level view of multiagent systems. In the typology proposed above, the modeling of other agents is implied by the agent type. Agents of type I (reactive agent) can view other agents only as mere objects. Reactive agents act on observations of the environment (or even more ....

....of the proposed solution. In this case, two instances of the organisation model are developed: before and after the introduction of the MAS. This model is also used to model the software agent organisation. Another approach to define a social level for MAS extending CommonKADS is presented in [11]. 3.1 Agent Modelling Agents can be identified with the following strategies (or a combination of them) Analysis of the actors of the use cases defined in the conceptualisation phase. The actors of the use cases delimit the external agents of the system. Several similar roles (actors) can be ....
