LNAI 3913 - Modeling Control Mechanisms with Normative Multiagent Systems: The Case of the Renewables Obligation
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper is about control mechanisms for virtual organizations. As a case study, we discuss the Renewables Obligation (RO), a control mechanism that was introduced in the United Kingdom to stimulate the production of renewable energy. We apply a conceptual model based on normative multiagent systems (NMAS). We propose to model both the participants and the normative system as autonomous agents, having beliefs and goals. Norms, which can be internalized by the agents as obligations, are translated into conditional beliefs and goals of the normative system, which concern both detection and sanctioning measures. We show that the model can handle both the regulative and the evidential aspects

متن کاملApplying Normative Multiagent Systems
We present a conceptual model of control mechanisms for virtual organizations. Control mechanisms and norms in general have certain objectives. We propose to model both the participants, and the normative system itself as autonomous agents, having certain beliefs, desires and goals. Norms, which can be internalized by the agents as obligations, are translated into conditional beliefs, desires a...
متن کاملNorMAS-RE: a Normative Multiagent Approach to Requirements Engineering
In this paper we present a new model, called NorMAS-RE, for the requirements analysis of a system. NorMAS-RE is a new model based on the multiagent systems paradigm with the aim to support the requirements analysis phase of systems design. This model offers a structured approach to requirements analysis, based on conceptual models defined following a visual modeling language, called dependence ...
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 کاملLNAI 3913 - Formal Modeling and Analysis of Organizations
A new, formal, role-based, framework for modeling and analyzing both real world and artificial organizations is introduced. It exploits static and dynamic properties of the organizational model and includes the (frequently ignored) environment. The transition is described from a generic framework of an organization to its deployed model and to the actual agent allocation. For verification and v...
