Abstract
Agents'autonomy and incoming agents can prevent a multi-agent system for fulfilling its requirements. Given a group of autonomous agents acting in an environment it should be useful to exploit information about their actions in order to improve the single agent's knowledge and behavior, and guarantee the realization of the requirements. In this paper, we introduce the concept of implicit culture and propose a general architecture for Systems for Implicit Culture Support (SICS). We show how it is possible to use a SICS to guarantee the persistence of the multi-agent system's requirements we present some existing systems that can be considered as instances of our architecture; and finally, we consider the related workI documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
