Programming Norm Change

Nick Tinnemeier
Mehdi Dastani
John-Jules Meyer

To adequately deal with the unpredictable and dynamic environments normative frameworks are typically deployed in, mechanisms for modifying the norms at runtime are crucial. We present the syntax and operational semantics of generic programming constructs to facilitate runtime norm modification, allowing a programmer to specify when and how the norms may be changed by external agents or by the normative framework. The norms take on the form of conditional obligations and prohibitions, which instantiate detached obligations and prohibitions (instances). We present rule-based constructs for runtime modification of the norms and their instances, and a mechanism for automatically updating the instances when their underlying norms change.

Roles and Norms for Programming Agent Organizations

Nick Tinnemeier
Mehdi Dastani
John-Jules Meyer

We present a programming language for implementing multiagent systems consisting of a set of individual agents that interact with a computational organization speciﬁed in terms of roles, norms and sanctions. We provide an operational semantics of the language that can serve as a basis for the implementation of organizational platforms. The view on roles is motivated by four key properties we deem important for an eﬃcient implementation of agent organizations.
