Scientific focus of the workshop

Computational models of norms and normative multi-agent systems: focus be on language level support for the implementation of normative MAS (in particular, programming constructs and their

perational semantics).

Norms, games, and social choice theory: the connection between normative systems and game theory and the emergence of norms in large-scale societies. Logical, social, philosophical and legal theories of norms for multi-agent systems: emphasis on the need in MAS to use rich normative ontologies of norms similar to the ones of human societies.

Themes and organisation

Keynotes and regular presentations each morning Thematic working groups each afternoon:

Norms and Game Theory: Norms, fairness, and making binding agreements. Norms and Cognition: The role of deliberation in norm compliance, the role of emotions in normative choice, and the kind of awareness that norms require in order to function properly. Norms and Organisations: Link between values and norms, agent reasoning about organisations, relationship between institutions. Rules Types for MAS: Basic rule types, the function of rules, from rules to rule systems. Logic and Norms: The role of logic in normative reasoning, the linguistic nature of normative reasoning, interpretation and vagueness, the role of cases.
