Semiotics, multi-agent systems and organizations

摘要

This paper studies the plausibility of theoretical choices in the construction of multi-agent systems. A main problem in the construction of psychologically plausible computer agents is the integration of response function systems with representational systems. Philosophically, one has to choose between realism and constructivism. Organizationally, the ecology, topology and coordination mechanisms based on language and knowledge offer the most intriguing perspective.
