Norms represent behavioural aspects that are encouraged by a social group of agents or the
majority of agents in a system. Normative systems enable coordinating synthesised norms of …

Abstract Normative Multi-Agent Systems (NorMAS) can model real-world applications as
multi-agent systems and facilitate the coordination of the social behaviour of various entities …

Norms are being used in multi-agent systems as a powerful abstraction to capture social
constraints. Norms regulate the behavior of the agents by describing the actions that can be …

Normative multi-agent systems offer the ability to integrate social and individual factors to
provide increased levels of fidelity with respect to modelling social phenomena, such as …

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 …

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 …

This paper introduces a modular architecture for integrating norms in autonomous agents
and multi-agent systems. As the interactions between norms and agents can be complex …

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 …

A fundamental feature of autonomous agents is the ability to make decisions in dynamic
environments where alternative plans may be used to achieve their goals. From an …

Norms have been extensively studied to coordinate multi-agent systems, and the literature
has investigated two general approaches to norm synthesis: off-line (synthesising norms at …
