Hi!,
My name is Rui Lopes and I'm a M.Sc Student of Computer Science in the
University of Coimbra. I am working in ECoS, CISUC
(http://cisuc.dei.uc.pt/ecos/) for one year and hale, ina project on
Models of Territorial Self-organisation - MATer
(http://cisuc.dei.uc.pt/ecos/view_project.php?id_p=54). Now I am also
working on my dissertation on the Emergence and Propagation of Norms
and Beliefs and recently I have joined this list. The aim of
dissertation is to "upgrade" the simulation that results from MATer
with agents that recognize and reason about beliefs and norms to study
the emergence of norms and beliefs and how those propagate in real
world territories.
After some research I am decided to build BDI based agents. MATer uses
Repast and I'm thinking in use Jason or Jadex for the reasoning of the
agents. I have also looked at others like 3APL, Jess, etc but they seem
less appropriate.
I have read on several frameworks for modeling norms and beliefs, but
most of them are only theoretical models. I didn't understand quite
well if modal or deontic logic are an obligation in such a system and
if there are proper tools to embed this kind of reasoning into a
toolkit like repast.
I would appreciate some counseling on the toolkits/languages to use on
my simulation as also as references and readings on implemented models
of norms and beliefs.
Thank you very much in advance,
Rui Lopes
