Dignum, V. (author), Aldewereld, H.M. (author), Vasconcelos, W. (author)Norms have been used to represent desirable behaviours that software agents should exhibit in sophisticated multi-agent solutions. An important open research issue refers to group norms, i.e. norms that govern groups of agents. Depending on the interpretation, group norms may be intended to affect the group as a whole, each member of a group, or...conference paper 2015

Dignum, M. (author), Correlje, A.F. (author), Cuppen, E.H.W.J. (author), Pesch, U. (author), Taebi, B. (author)The introduction of new energy technologies may lead to public resistance and contestation. It is often argued that this phenomenon is caused by an inadequate inclusion of relevant public values in the design of technology. In this paper we examine the applicability of the value sensitive design (VSD) approach. While VSD was primarily introduced...journal article 2015

Hesan, R. (author), Ghorbani, A. (author), Dignum, M.V. (author)In system dynamics modeling, differential equations have been used as the basic mathematical operator. Using difference equation to build system dynamics models instead of differential equation, can be insightful for studying small organizations or systems with micro behavior. In this paper we explain how we can use difference equations to build...conference paper 2014

Govender, I. (author), Govender, D. (author), Havenga, M. (author), Mentz, E. (author), Breed, B. (author), Dignum, F. (author), Dignum, V. (author)The difficulty of learning to program has long been identified amongst novices. This study explored the benefits of teaching a problem solving strategy by comparing students’ perceptions and attitudes towards problem solving before and after the strategy was implemented in secondary schools. Based on self-efficacy theory, students’ problem...journal article 2014

Dignum, V. (author), Jonker, C.M. (author), Prada, R. (author), Dignum, F. (author)Socially intelligent systems exhibit, understand, and reason about social behavior, in order to support people in their daily lives. We claim that a fundamental new approach based on social concepts is needed to build these socially intelligent systems. In this paper, we explore how the concepts of social practices and social identities can be...conference paper 2014

Schmidt Jensen, A. (author), Dignum, V. (author)Open systems are characterized by a diversity of heterogeneous and autonomous agents that act according to private goals, and with a behavior that is hard to predict. They can be regulated through organizations similar to human organizations, which regulate the agents’ behavior space and describe the expected behavior of the agents. Agents need...conference paper 2014

Pieters, W. (author), Padget, J. (author), Dechesne, F. (author), Dignum, V. (author), Aldewereld, H.M. (author)Security policies in organisations typically take the form of obligations for the employees. However, it is often unclear what the purpose of such obligations is, and how these can be integrated in the operational processes of the organisation. This can result in policies that may be either too strong or too weak, leading to unnecessary...conference paper 2013

Schmidt Jensen, A. (author), Aldewereld, H.M. (author), Dignum, M.V. (author)It is hard, if not impossible, to assume anything about agents’ behavior in a society with heterogeneous agents from different sources. Organizations are used to restrict and guide the agents’ actions such that the global objectives of the society are achieved. We discuss how agents can be supported to include organizational objectives and...conference paper 2013

(author)Shale gas is a relatively new technology that is embraced by some as the ‘game changer’ in energy land, and opposed by others because of its risks and other potentially negative impacts. Recent experiences in the US and Europe have shown that the technology witnesses divergent societal acceptance issues. The value-laden basis of such resistance...conference paper 2013

(author)Within a virtual organization, more than one institution might be involved in the regulation of actors’ behavior. Each institution specifies a set of norms covering a specific aspect of the problem domain with a governance scope defining its remit. Together, they govern the participants and reflect the objectives of the organization. With actors...conference paper 2013
