Abstract

Institutions are established to regulate the interactions between parties that are performing some (business) transaction. The main focus of the dissertation is how an electronic organization (e-organization) should be specified on the basis of the abstract patterns given by the institution on which the organization is formed (i.e., how can we define a formal relation between the abstract norms specified in the institutional regulations and the concrete rules and procedures of the organization such that the agents will operate within the organization according to the institutional norms or can be punished when they are violating the norms).

AAMAS '06: Proceedings of the fifth international joint conference on Autonomous agents and multiagent systems

Agent-mediated electronic institutions belong to a new and promising field where interactions between a group of agents are regulated by means of a set of explicit norms. Current implementations of such open-agent systems are, however, mostly using ...
Constraint rule-based programming of norms for electronic institutions

Norms constitute a powerful coordination mechanism among heterogeneous agents. In this paper, we propose a rule language to specify and explicitly manage the normative positions of agents (permissions, prohibitions and obligations), with which distinct ...

Ideally, open multi-agent systems (MAS) involve heterogeneous and autonomous agents whose interactions ought to conform to some shared conventions. The challenge is how to express and enforce such conditions so that truly autonomous agents can adscribe ...
