The group Hähner contributes to the research group by extending concepts and methods in the field of Trusted Communities (TCs). TCs already form an integral part of the techniques developed in the research group's concepts. Focus in this sub project is the emergent bottom-up formation of these communities. The particular focus of Phase 3 is the use of norms as an approach to decentralized control of individual agents within an open and distributed system. This includes an extension of the agent architectures developed in Phase 1 and 2 with the concept of norms, methods of estimating the consequences of norm violations, mechanisms for distributed control of norms and norm compliance, and their development. Integral assumptions include that the internal behaviour of the agents from the outside is not available to other agents (black box) and that no conduct of acceptance of individual agents can be made. In collaboration with the group Müller- Schloer the emergent bottom-up approaches (focus of group Hähner) are supplemented through institutional top-down approaches (focus of group Müller-Schloer). The collaboration with the group Reif includes the formal specification of norms. As an interface to the group Ungerer, the methods developed are further integrated into the common middleware. Collaboration with the group Andre will include the integration of the developed system concepts with the methods of user trusts, particularly in the context of a smart camera demonstrator to be developed there in combination with the multi-user multi-display environments.
