We propose a programming framework for the implementation of norm-aware multi-agent
systems. The framework integrates the N-2APL norm-aware agent programming language …

Recent years have seen an increase in the application of ideas from the social sciences to
computational systems. Nowhere has this been more pronounced than in the domain of …

A major challenge in the research of multiagent systems (MAS) is the design and
implementation of open MAS in which norms can be effectively applied to their agents and …

This report documents the program and the outcomes of Dagstuhl Seminar 18171"
Normative Multi-Agent Systems". Normative multi-agent systems combine models for multi …

In this chapter we provide an introductory presentation of normative multi-agent systems
(nMAS). The key idea of the chapter is that any definition of nMAS should preliminarily clarify …

Normative environments have been proposed to regulate agent interaction in open multi-
agent systems. However, most approaches rely on pre-imposed regulations that agents are …

The environment is an essential component of multi-agent systems and is often used to
coordinate the behaviour of individual agents. Recently many languages have been …

There is growing interest in the idea that, in some cases, interactions among multiple,
independently acting agents in a multi-agent system can be regulated and managed by …

Social norms are powerful formalism in coordinating autonomous agents' behaviour to
achieve certain objectives. In this paper, we propose a dynamic normative system to enable …

Norms in multi-agent systems are a mechanism used to restrict the behavior of agents by
defining what agents are obligated, permitted or prohibited to do and by stating stimulus to …
