Regulative and Constitutive Norms in Normative Multiagent Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we introduce a formal framework for the construction of normative multiagent systems, based on Searle’s notion of the construction of social reality. Within the structure of normative multiagent systems we distinguish between regulative norms that describe obligations, prohibitions and permissions, and constitutive norms that regulate the creation of institutional facts as well as the modification of the normative system itself. Using the metaphor of normative systems as agents, we attribute mental attitudes to the normative system. In particular, we formalize regulative norms as goals of the normative system, and constitutive norms as beliefs of the normative system. Agents reason about norm creation using recursive modelling.

Constitutive Norms in the Design of Normative Multiagent Systems
In this paper, we consider the design of normative multiagent systems composed of both constitutive and regulative norms. We analyze the properties of constitutive norms, in particular their lack of reflexivity, and the trade-off between constitutive and regulative norms in the design of normative systems. As methodology we use the metaphor of describing social entities as agents and of attribu...
متن کاملAnalyzing Control Trust in Normative Multiagent Systems
It has been argued that transaction trust is composed of party trust and control trust. In this paper we study control trust: trust in an institution that has set up a control mechanism. We present an account of control mechanisms using normative multiagent systems. Control mechanisms consist of constitutive norms which define evidential documents, and regulative norms which define violation co...
متن کاملNormative Monitoring: Semantics and Implementation
The concept of Normative Systems can be used in the scope of MultiAgent Systems to provide reliable contexts of interactions between agents where acceptable behaviour is specified in terms of norms. Literature on the topic is growing rapidly, and there is a considerable amount of theoretical frameworks for normative environments, some in the form of Electronic Institutions. Most of these approa...
متن کاملDynaCROM: An Approach to Implement Regulative Norms in Normative Multiagent Systems
A major challenge in normative multiagent systems (NMAS) is how norms can be effectively applied to their entities and easily managed. These tasks are arduous because norms are usually written for general purposes, hindering a more precise regulation. In this paper, we go through an operational approach to implement regulative norms in multiagent systems. In our approach, abstract norms are emb...
متن کاملAttributing Mental Attitudes to Social Entities: Constitutive Rules are Beliefs, Regulative Rules are Goals
In this paper, we propose a model of constitutive and regulative norms in a logical multiagent framework. We analyze the relationship between these two types of rules and explain similarities between them, using the metaphor of considering social entities like normative systems, groups and organizations as agents and of attributing them mental attitudes as well as an autonomous behavior. We arg...
