Abstract

Norms are an efficient way of controlling the behaviour of agents while still allowing agent autonomy. While there are tools for programming Multi-Agent Systems, few provide an explicit mechanism for simulating norm-based behaviour using a variety of normative representations. In this paper, we develop an artefact-based mechanism for norm processing, monitoring and enforcement and show its implementation as a framework built with CArtAgO. Our framework is then empirically demonstrated using a variety of enforcement settings.
