Social norms are the glue that holds society together, yet our knowledge of them remains
heavily intellectually siloed. This article provides an interdisciplinary review of the emerging …

Norms and normative multiagent systems have become the subjects of interest for many
researchers. Such interest is caused by the need for agents to exploit the norms in …

Norms are prescribed conducts applied by the majority of people. Getting across cultures
and centuries, norms evolved to rule all human relationships, from the most formal to the …

Norms in human societies are expectations of behaviours of the individuals. In human
societies, there are several types of norms such as moral norms, social norms and legal …

Los modelos basados en agentes (MBA) constituyen una nueva generación de métodos
computacionales que permiten modelar la estructura de un sistema complejo y simular su …

Technology for supporting people in their daily lives such as personal assistant agents and
smart homes carry great potential for making our lives more connected, healthy, efficient and …

Complex systems often exhibit emergent behaviour, unexpected macro-level behaviour
caused by the interaction of micro-level components. In multiagent systems, these micro …

In normative multi-agent systems, the question of “how an agent identifies norms in an open
agent society” has not received much attention. This paper aims at addressing this question …

Since multi-agent systems are inspired by human societies, they do not only borrow their
coordination mechanisms such as conventions and norms, but also need to consider the …

Predictions of emergent phenomena, appearing on the macroscopic layer of a complex
system, can fail if they are made by a microscopic model. This study demonstrates and …
