From a Sociological Point of View: Evaluative Criteria in the Field of Socially Intelligent Agent Modeling

This paper analyses a major contribution of a computer scientist to the field of modeling of socially intelligent artificial agents (Kerstin Dautenhahn's "Starting from Society: the Application of Social Analogies to Computational Systems"), in order to show that computer scientists could profit from being acquainted with the tenets of not only 20th but also 19th century sociology, that closer interdisciplinary collaboration is necessary in the field, and finally that its evaluative criteria need to be modified in such a way as to allow more space for theoretical elaborations firmly grounded in sociology.
