Abstract
We propose an integrated approach through key concepts about social agents and multiagent systems. We start with the general concept of agent society as an entity structured by institutions and organizations, in the sense proposed by D. North. Agent interactions are presented within the theory based on communicative action theory introduced by J. Habermas. Among the three domains of discourse proposed by J. Habermas, the objective, the subjective and the social domains, we focus in this paper on the social domain of discourse to develop a new semantics based on dynamic deontic logic where we introduce the notion of complex object of the norms as proposed by P. Bailhache.
