Abstract

Social agents are computational cognitive agents that have epistemic abilities besides the traditional ones of action, communication and other forms of interaction. There is increasing interest in the modelling of such agents. This talk will first outline selected aspects of social agents and potential applications. Then we proceed to an example of how a couple of aspects may be investigated, viz., agent trust based on experience.
