报告摘要：

    The study of emergence of social norms has been one of the interesting research topics in multiagent systems.  We start this talk by an introduction to the notation of autonomous agents and multiagent systems in artificial intelligence, and a brief review of previous research work on norm emergence in multiagent systems.  We then present our recent work on local convention phenomena, a type of interesting phenomena, which may also exist in certain multiagent systems. When agents are partitioned into compact communities, different local conventions emerge in different communities.  We also discuss the case that agents are aware of the social value of each action under prisoner's dilemma games. During decision-making, agents weigh different actions based on the social values and their individual payoffs. We model such agents' behaviours with the notion of social value orientation. An experimental study is conducted on different kinds of agent societies. It is shown that dynamic equilibrium phenomena emerge as the ultimate state in some agent societies, and agents eventually develop individualistic or altruistic orientations.
