Using Case-Based Reasoning in Autonomic Electronic Institutions

Coordination, Organizations, Institutions, and Norms in Agent Systems III (COIN 2007)

Abstract

Electronic institutions (EIs) define the rules of the game in agent societies by fixing what agents are permitted and forbidden to do and under what circumstances. Autonomic Electronic Institutions (AEIs) adapt their regulations to comply with their goals despite coping with varying populations of self-interested external agents. This paper presents a self-adaptation model based on Case-Based Reasoning (CBR) that allows an AEI to yield a dynamical answer to changing circumstances.
