Many autonomous systems —like autonomous vehicles or drones— need to interact and cooperate with diverse groups of people to achieve socially beneficial outcomes. This has been proven challenging due to the diversity of human behaviour. Our paper responds to this challenge by presenting an adaptive software architecture that enables cooperation between autonomous systems and people automatically by leveraging principles of group psychology. According to this, belonging to a social group determines how members of this group tend to behave. We present empirical evidence that an adaptive architecture that leverages these group dynamics can facilitate effective coordination of rescue efforts in emergencies. Having only recently published it in ACM Transactions on Software Engineering and Methodology (TOSEM), we propose to present this original work aiming to its inclusion in the ASE 2024 Journal-First track. This work has not been presented at other conferences.
