Abstract
Declarative policies are useful for constraining autonomous behavior in open, distributed systems
This enables more autonomy
The Rei policy language and associate tools have provided a good base
Semantic web languages (e.g., OWL) used, grounding descriptions in sharable, semantically rich, machine understandable ontologies
We’re evaluating and exploring the utility of policies through prototype applications
In one, Topsail, policies guide agents to help form, operate and maintain teams of people.
