This paper brings together agent oriented programming, organisation oriented programming
and environment oriented programming, all of which are programming paradigms that …

Business process management has been the driving force of optimization and operational
efficiency for companies until now, but the digitalization era we have been experiencing …

Just as conventional institutions are organisational structures for coordinating the activities
of multiple interacting individuals, electronic institutions provide a computational analogue …

Normative organisations provide a means to coordinate the activities of individual agents in
multiagent settings. The coordination is realized at run time by creating obligations and …

The behaviours of autonomous agents may deviate from those deemed to be for the good of
the societal systems of which they are a part. Norms have therefore been proposed as a …

Agent-based modeling is increasingly being used in computational epidemiology to
characterize important behavioral dimensions, such as the heterogeneity of the individual …

This chapter surveys the multi-agent programming research field by presenting and
discussing some typical multi-agent programming languages and frameworks. It provides an …

We present the JaCaMo+ framework for programming multiagent systems (MAS), where
agents interact thanks to commitment-based interaction protocols. Commitment protocols …

To achieve system-level properties of a multiagent system, the behavior of individual agents
should be controlled and coordinated. One way to control agents without limiting their …

In this article we give a high-level overview of various aspects relevant to multi-agent
decision making. Classical decision theory makes the start. Then, we introduce multi-agent …
