Societal norms or conventions help identify one of many appropriate behaviors during an
interaction between agents. The offline study of norms is an active research area where one …

A challenging problem currently addressed in the multi-agent systems area is the
development of open systems; which are characterized by the heterogeneity of their …

Social norms such as social rules and conventions play a pivotal role in sustaining system
order by regulating and controlling individual behaviors toward a global consensus in large …

Multi-Agent Systems require coordination mechanisms in order to assemble the behaviour
of autonomous and heterogeneous agents and achieve the desired performance of the …

In multi-agent systems, norms are a usual way to regulate the behaviour of autonomous
agents. To be stable in different circumstances, norms are specified using high level terms …

This paper is intended to analyse the concepts involved in the phenomena of social
monitoring and norm-based social influence for systems of normative agents. These are …

One is todefine precisely what social norms are. The social science literature is not very
precise in this respect, as different collective behaviors often are conflated under the label …

In this paper we will present the EMIL project," EMergence In the Loop: Simulating the two-
way dynamics of norm innovation", a three-year project funded by the European …

The use of norms is widely accepted as an effective approach to control and regulate the
behaviour of agents in multiagent systems. Existing work on normative multi-agent systems …

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 …
