An Effective Implementation of Norms in Trust-Aware Open Self-Organising Systems

Abstract

We discuss the implementation of a normative system in an open self-organising system, including an OCL-based format for norms we settled on, the design of the feedback loops for their observation and adaptation, as well as a corresponding software architecture. These elements allow designers to quickly integrate a normative sub-system in a MAS and to define norms based on existing design concepts.
