Norms constitute regulative mechanisms extensively enacted in groups, organisations, and

Norms have been extensively studied to coordinate multi-agent systems, and the literature
has investigated two general approaches to norm synthesis: off-line (synthesising norms at …

Multi-agent systems (MAS) have gained relevance in the field of artificial intelligence by
offering tools for modelling complex environments where autonomous agents interact to …

Much previous research has investigated explicit, machine-process-able norms as a means
to facilitate coordination in open multi-agent systems. This research can typically be …

Recently, the study of social conventions has attracted much attention in the literature. We
notice that a type of interesting phenomena, local convention phenomena, may also exist in …
