Abstract: In this paper we present some concepts and their relations that are necessary for modeling autonomous agents in an environment that is governed by some (social) norms. We divide the norms over three levels: the private level the contract level and the convention level. We show how deontic logic can be used to model the concepts and how the theory of speech acts can be used to model the generation of (some of) the norms. Finally we give some idea about an agent architecture incorporating the... (Update)

...the second is more deliberative. Norms and the BOID Recently computational BDI has been extended with norms (or obligations) see e.g. (Dignum 1999), though it is still debated whether artificial agents need norms, and if they are needed then for what purposes. It is also...

.... of human behaviour: the theory that has typically been used to incorporate norms into agent architectures is deontic logic (e.g. Dignum 1999). The theoretical rigour offered by logic is certainly appealing. However, if the goal of computational research on norms is to model...
