A challenging issue in Multi-agent systems governed by multiple norms is to deal with
normative conflicts, which are situations where the fulfilment of a norm violates another one …

Norms in multi-agent systems are used as a mechanism to regulate the behavior of
autonomous and heterogeneous agents and to maintain the social order of the society of …

Norm monitoring often assumes that monitors have unlimited resources to observe the
environment and the actions performed by agents. In this paper, we relax this assumption …

Norms have been used to represent desirable behaviours that software agents should
exhibit in sophisticated multi-agent solutions. An important open research issue refers to …

The identification of normative conflicts is an essential task in Multi-Agent Systems that are
governed by multiple norms. Two norms are in conflict if they contradict each other, that is …

In Multi-agent systems (MAS), norms can be adopt as a strategy to regulate and guide the
behavior of software agents and avoid that unexpected actions occur in the system. In order …

Data sharing is becoming an integral part of many aspects of our daily lives. We propose a
method for controlling access to data and knowledge through fine-grained, user-specified …

Agents are autonomous processes which together form multi-agent systems. Often we want
to make sure that these agents behave according to certain guidelines. To make sure they …
