Towards the Implementation of a Normative Reasoning Process

  • Conference paper
7th International Conference on Practical Applications of Agents and Multi-Agent Systems (PAAMS 2009)

Part of the book series: Advances in Intelligent and Soft Computing ((AINSC,volume 55))

Abstract

Multi-agent systems have been employed for modeling dynamical and complex systems. In order to control these agent societies, the normative theory has arisen inside multi-agent system area as a coordination mechanism, being a key element in open systems. In this paper, a new normative reasoning process is presented. It allows agents to consider the existence of a dynamical normative context that regulates their behaviors.
