TL;DR
It is argued that companion modelling approach can help sharing and discussing those non-elicited information with stakeholders as well as managing representations’ heterogeneity and conflicting opinions.

Artificial IntelligenceThe knowledge level
2,484 Citations1982Allen Newell
A theory of the nature of knowledge is proposed, namely, that there is another computer system level immediately above the symbol (or program) level and knowledge itself is the processing medium at this level and the principle of rationality plays a central role.

909 Citations2000
The NATO Research Study Group 27 on Cognitive Task Analysis concludes that few integrated methods exist, that little attention is being paid to the conditions under which methods are appropriate, and that often it is unclear how the products of cognitive task analysis should be used.
Knowledge AcquisitionKADS: a modelling approach to knowledge engineering
604 Citations1992Bob Wielinga, A.T. Schreiber +1 more
Five basic principles underlying the KADS approach are discussed, namely the introduction of partial models as a means to cope with the complexity of the knowledge engineering process and the importance of structure—preserving transformation of models of expertise into design and implementation.

The last chapter deals with the impact of uncertainty due to congestion delays and transit time when locating mobile units such as emergency repair services, taxi-cab fleets, fire departments, ambulance services, etc.
Lecture notes in computer scienceMulti-agent Based Simulation: Where Are the Agents?
196 Citations2003Alexis Drogoul, Diane Vanbergue +1 more
It is shown that MABS, despite its name, is in fact rarely based on computational agents, and the notion of "agent", although shared at a conceptual level by the different participants, does not imply a systematic use of computational agents in the systems deployed.

193 Citations2002François Bousquet, Olivier Barreteau +4 more
This chapter proposes a method, develops abstract models, and presents first results of a modeling tool used to understand the dynamics of natural and renewable resources and their management in the field of simulating societies in interaction with their environment.

Cognitive Systems ResearchThe theory of social functions: challenges for computational social science and multi-agent learning
144 Citations2001Cristiano Castelfranchi
A model of unknown functions impinging on intentional actions through a high level form of (MA) reinforcement learning is sketched, arguing that, in order to reproduce some behaviour, its effects should not necessarily be 'good', i.e. useful for the goal of the agent or of some higher macro-system.
International Journal of Human-Computer StudiesTowards a knowledge technology for knowledge management
134 Citations1999Nick Milton, Nigel Shadbolt +2 more
It is believed that the evidence presented here shows that knowledge engineering has much to offer KM and can be the basis on which to move towards a Knowledge Technology.
Annals of Operations ResearchSHADOC: a multi‐agent model to tackle viability of irrigated systems
123 Citations2000Olivier Barreteau, François Bousquet
How a multi‐agent system model, a kind of virtual irrigated system, with a special focus on rules in use for access to credit, water allocation and cropping season assessment, is used to examine the influence of existing social networks on the viability of irrigated systems.
Knowledge AcquisitionHandling conflict between domain descriptions with computer-supported negotiation
120 Citations1991Steve Easterbrook
A model of computer-supported negotiation is presented which can be used to address conflicts in systems analysis directly, and has been used to develop a system called Synoptic, which provides a set of tools to support the exploration of conflicts.
Lecture notes in computer scienceThe Use of Models - Making MABS More Informative
88 Citations2001Bruce Edmonds
It is argued that rarely is direct modelling of target systems attempted but rather an abstraction of the target systems is modelled and insights gained about the abstraction are applied back to thetarget systems.
Long Range PlanningStrategic thinking with computers
82 Citations1990Colin Eden
The author describes the development of a system of cognitive mapping as a strategic management tool based on attention to the ownership of data as the basic material and on the design of strategy workshops using the owned data.

This paper uses the example of Ned, a detailed cognitive task analysis of submarine approach officers as they attempt to localize an enemy submarine hiding in deep water, to discuss the use of scaled worlds in applied cognitive research.
Lecture notes in computer scienceThe Need for and Development of Behaviourally Realistic Agents
47 Citations2003Wander Jager, Marco A. Janssen
It is argued that simulating complex systems involving human behaviour requires agent rules based on a theoretically rooted structure that captures basic behavioural processes and should be based on state-of-the-art behavioural theories and validated on the micro-level using experimental or field data of individual behaviour.
Lecture notes in computer scienceNorms as mental objects. From normative beliefs to normative goals
45 Citations1995Rosaria Conte, Cristiano Castelfranchi
It is claimed that a crucial aspect of the normative mechanism is the normative request, which plays a fundamental role in the spreading of normative behaviours.

28 Citations2000Juliette Rouchier, François Bousquet +3 more
This paper synthesises the results of four models with agents interacting in artificial societies in which they have to share a resource using multi-agent based simulation models that address issues related to the use of common renewable goods.

24 Citations2001Francis Heylighen
It is argued that such bootstrapping methods can be applied to make the World Wide Web more intelligent, allowing it to self‐organize and support inferences.

19 Citations2002Juliette Rouchier, Olivier Barreteau +2 more
This paper describes how the idea of group is analysed in this context and defines both organisation levels as autonomous agents that coevolve in their environment.

11 Citations1998Juliette Rouchier, François Bousquet
The hypothesis is that the exchanges of goods structure the society, and especially the non-merchant exchanges, and the aim is to express unselfishness, but also to generate a moral debt that builds strong reciprocal links.
