Roles and Norms for Programming Agent Organizations

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.
