.... to deciding what plans and actions to adopt in order to achieve a particular goal, but only limitedly autonomous with respect to deciding what goals to adopt and what rules and norms to obey, which then are decided by its owner (cf. the distinctions between plan, goal, and norm autonomous agents [29]) It is sometimes easier for an agent to achieve its goals if it cooperates with some of the other agents in the society. In an open (or semi open) agent society, it is typically not possible to determine with which agents to cooperate when the agent is created. That is, the agent itself must ....

....What to do when violations of norms occur has to be addressed in the multi agency area, in particular if we consider applications where agents act within a normative system. 2 L. van der Torre Contextual Deontic Logic We call agents that can reason about norms and obligations normative agents [23,75]. We believe that norms and their violability are relevant for several aspects of multi agent systems (such as deliberation, autonomy and control) as explained in Section 2.

Desires are studied in their relation to intended actions, whereas obligations are studied in relation to each other (see [38,74,40] for a discussion) Desires can con ict (due to for example con icting objectives, see [39] but obligations cannot. Consequences: In case of violation ....
