Norms allow system designers to specify the desired behaviour of a sociotechnical system.
In this way, norms regulate what the social and technical agents in a sociotechnical system …

The behaviours of autonomous agents may deviate from those deemed to be for the good of
the societal systems of which they are a part. Norms have therefore been proposed as a …

In heterogeneous multiagent systems, agents might interfere with each other either
intentionally or unintentionally, as a side-effect of their activities. One approach to …

To achieve system-level properties of a multiagent system, the behavior of individual agents
should be controlled and coordinated. One way to control agents without limiting their …

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 …

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 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 …

Social norms enable coordination in multiagent systems by constraining agent behaviour in
order to achieve a social objective. Automating the design of social norms has been shown …

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 …

To maintain fitness-for-purpose, the set of norms governing a MAS will typically need to
evolve to reflect the changing needs of both participants and the environment. We put …
