Hybrid Communities (People & Autonomous Agents) in Hypermedia MAS

  • Bridging formal semantics and social semantics (e.g., ontologies and folksonomies)
  • Web-based collective programming, customization, and maintenance of hypermedia MAS
  • Hybrid social constructs for supporting autonomous reasoning and interaction
  • Human-agent interaction in hybrid communities on the Web
