Abstract

Autonomous agents are intelligent software systems that can carry out tasks on behalf of users without their intervention. On online forums, autonomous agents can operate to read and post messages on behalf of users. The proper regulation of agents’ interactions are required for achieving the expected results on online forums. One way to govern these interactions is using multi-agent oriented programming platforms. Here we introduce the use of JaCaMo, a multi-agent oriented programming platform, for governing agents’ interactions within online forums. We show its feasibility for regulating agents’ interactions within a popular online forum, Reddit.
