Collective Agency and Cooperation in Natural and Artificial Systems Explanation, Implementation and Simulation

This book brings together philosophical approaches to cooperation and collective agency with research into human-machine interaction and cooperation from engineering, robotics, computer science and AI. Bringing these so far largely unrelated fields of study together leads to a better understanding o...
