Abstract:
Norms are driving forces in social systems and governing many aspects of individual and group decision-making.
Various scholars use agent based models for modeling such social systems, however, the normative
component of these models is often neglected or relies on oversimplified probabilistic models. Within the
multi-agent research community, the study of norm emergence, compliance and adoption has resulted in new
architectures and standards for normative agents. We propose the N-BDI* architecture by extending the Belief-Desire and Intention (BDI) agents’ control loop, for constructing normative agents to model social systems;
the aim of our research to create a better basis for studying the effects of norms on a society of agents. In
this paper, we focus on how norms can be used to create so-called Secure Trustworthy Digital Marketplaces
(STDMPs). We also present a case study showing the usage of our architecture for monitoring the STDMP-members’
behavior. As a concrete res
ult, a preliminary implementation of the STDMP framework has been
implemented in multi-agent systems based on Jadex.
