This thesis presents the model of a social reasoning mechanism based on dependence theory. This model enables an agent to reason about the others, in particular to calculate his dependence relations and dependence situations. An agent is said to be dependent on another if the latter can help/prevent him to achieve one of his goals. We consider our social reasoning mechanism as an essential building block for the design of really autonomous artificial agents, which are immersed in an open multi-agent world. By open, we mean that agents may enter or leave the agency at any moment. In such systems, as the organisation of the agents can not be conceived at design time, the cooperative problem solving paradigm is based on dynamic coalition forma...
