Social Order in Multiagent Systems provides an overview of current
approaches, problems, and considerations related to the study of norms
and institutions in the context of multiagent systems. The contributions
in this volume share the assumption that norms and other social
institutions are of vital importance for the development of multiagent
systems and agent-mediated interaction. Both formal and computational
models of norms and normative systems are presented, including formal
analysis of normative concepts and foundational models of norms; agent
and systems architectures for implementing norms; and implemented
systems.
Social Order in Multiagent Systems is an excellent reference for
researchers in artificial intelligence and computer science, and can be
used as text for advanced level courses in multiagent systems.
