Abstract
Social dependence networks [155] (SDNs) are structures that form the basis of a computational model of social power theory as originally proposed by Castel-franchi [18]. Essentially, they are taxonomies of social relationships that can be derived from the ‘power’ agents have over one another as a result of their ability to achieve each other’s goals. Based on these taxonomies, social reasoning mechanisms have been developed by which agents can reason about inter-agent dependencies.
