Deliberate Normative Agents
نویسنده
چکیده
Agent theories have developed on epts and methodologies that an be applied for having a better understanding of reasoning about obligations. This work proposes an agentbased framework for modeling obligations and norms: agents are able to deal with norms and to de ide autonomously whether to respe t them or not. The key idea is that the addressee of the norm expli itly models the agent who wat hes on the norms and who an san tion him.

A Framework for Programming Norm-Aware Multi-agent Systems
We propose a programming framework for the implementation of norm-aware multi-agent systems. The framework integrates the N-2APL normaware agent programming language with the 2OPL organisation programming language. Integration of N-2APL and 2OPL is achieved using a tuple space which represents both the (brute) state of the multi-agent environment and the detached norms and sanctions comprising ...

The term coherence is defined as the quality or the state of cohering, especially a logical, orderly, and aesthetically consistent relationship of parts. Cognitive coherence in particular is the coherence theory based explanation of the mind which evaluates the truth of a cognition in terms of it being a member of ...
متن کاملDeliberate Normative Agents: Principles and Architecture
In this paper norms are assumed to be useful in agent societies. It is claimed that not only following norms, but also the possibility of ‘intelligent’ norm violation can be useful. Principles for agents that are able to behave deliberately on the basis of explicitly represented norms are identified and an architecture is introduced. Using this agent architecture, norms can be communicated, ado...
متن کاملFormalising the informal?: Dynamic social order, bottom-up social control, and spontaneous normative relations
The right framework for studying normative issues in infosociety and MAS is that of deliberate or spontaneous social order, and intended or unintended, centralised or decentralised forms of social control. For effectively supporting human cooperation it is necessary to “incorporate” social and normative knowledge in intelligent technology; computers should deal with—and thus partially “understa...
