A Case-Based Reasoning Approach for Norm Adaptation

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNAI,volume 6077))

Abstract

Existing organisational centred multi-agent systems regulate agents’ activities. However, population/environmental changes may lead to a poor fulfilment of system’s goals, and therefore, adapting the whole organisation becomes key. In this paper, we propose to use Case-Based Reasoning learning to adapt norms that regulate agents’ behaviour. Moreover, we empirically evaluate this approach in a P2P scenario.
