We adopt the decision-theoretic principle of expected utility maximization as a paradigm for designing autonomous rational agents, and present a framework that uses this paradigm t...
Norms defined by institutions and enforced by organizations have been put forward as a mechanism to increase the efficiency and reliability of electronic transactions carried out ...
Multi-agent systems are viewed as consisting of individual agents whose behaviors are regulated by organization artifacts. This abstract presents a programming language, which is d...
