Norms in Multiagent Systems: some Implementation Guidelines
نویسندگان
چکیده
Norms are commonly used in MAS to formally express the expected behaviour of agents in open environments. Current norm formalisms focus on the declarative nature of norms. However, in order to be implemented, norms should be translated into operational representations. In this paper we continue our work on the implementation of norms by discussing issues on norm enforcement, verifiability and defeasibility. We propose some implementation guidelines, including some mechanisms to be added in agent platforms in order to ease norm implementation.

Normative Systems in Computer Science - Ten Guidelines for Normative Multiagent Systems
In this paper we introduce and discuss ten guidelines for the use of normative systems in computer science. We adopt a multiagent systems perspective, because norms are used to coordinate, organize, guide, regulate or control interaction among distributed autonomous systems. The first six guidelines are derived from the computer science literature. From the so-called ‘normchange’ definition of ...

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 کاملA Review of Norms and Normative Multiagent Systems
Norms and normative multiagent systems have become the subjects of interest for many researchers. Such interest is caused by the need for agents to exploit the norms in enhancing their performance in a community. The term norm is used to characterize the behaviours of community members. The concept of normative multiagent systems is used to facilitate collaboration and coordination among social...
متن کاملDynamic assignment of roles, rights and responsibilities in normative multi-agent systems
Open multiagent systems (MAS) typically require the participating agents to comply with system-level rules, or norms, and may punish non-compliance. An interesting challenge for designers of such systems is how to provide for dynamic, run-time allocation of norms. In this article, we present a novel, framework-independent approach enabling a norm architecture to be overlaid on any type of multi...
