The athos project: First steps towards computational accountability

This work studies the support research on multiagent systems can give to the automation of computation of accountability (com- putational accountability), an din particular to accountability in organizational contexts. It introduces the idea of guaranteeing accountability as a design property of socio-technical systems, and explain a set of principles which a socio-technical system should respect. We explain the ADOPT protocol, which is a way that allows to realize computational accountability in an organizational setting, by means of multiagent systems technology.
