Towards a Model of the Dynamics of Normative Multi-Agent Systems
Fabiola Lòpez y Lòpez and Micheal Luck

To represent agents able to deal with norms, and therefore able to exist in a group, organisation, or society in which norms are used, many elements must be taken into account. Agents must not only be endowed with mechanisms that enable them to decide when norms must be either adopted or complied with, but they also have to be provided with the means to identify the different relationships, due to norms, in which they might be involved. Towards this end, this paper focuses on the identification of the main components of norm-based systems, and on representing and analysing the dynamic relationships between member agents which result of the processing of norms.
