Abstract
This paper studies a default logic for social reasoning in multiagent systems. A social default theory is a collection of default theories with which each agent reasons and behaves by taking attitudes of other agents into account. The semantics of a social default theory is given as social extensions which represent the agreement of beliefs of individual agents in a society. We show the use of social default theories for representing social attitudes of agents and for reasoning in cooperative planning and negotiation among multiple agents.
