Abstract

For agents, one of the advantages of being part of a society is the sat- isfaction of those goals whose success depends on the abilities of other agents. In turn, societies are controlled by norms and, consequently, agents must be able first to model the society in which they exist, and then to identify the differ- ent relationships, due to norms, in which they might be involved in order to act appropriately. Both of these could mean the difference between the success or failure of their goals. To this end, this paper focuses on the identification of the basic components of norm-based systems, and on representing and analysing the dynamic relationships between member agents which result from the processing of norms.
