Pre-Proceedings of the AAMAS06 Workshop on Coordination, Organization, Institutions and Norms in agent systems (COIN@AAMAS'06)
Abstract
The viability of the application of the e-Institution paradigm
for obtaining overall desired behavior in open multiagent systems (MAS)
lies in the possibility of bringing the norms of the institution to have an
actual impact on the MAS. Institutional norms have to be implemented
in the society. The paper addresses two possible views on implementing
norms, the so-called regimentation of norms, and the enforcement of
norms, with particular attention to this last one. Aim of the paper is to
provide a theory for the understanding of the notion of enforcement and
for the design of enforcement mechanisms in e-Institutions
