Complex systems often exhibit emergent behaviour, unexpected macro-level behaviour
caused by the interaction of micro-level components. In multiagent systems, these micro …

We understand a socio-technical system (STS) as a cyber-physical system in which two or
more autonomous parties interact via or about technical elements, including the parties' …

Social norms such as social rules and conventions play a pivotal role in sustaining system
order by regulating and controlling individual behaviors toward a global consensus in large …

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 …

Since multi-agent systems are inspired by human societies, they do not only borrow their
coordination mechanisms such as conventions and norms, but also need to consider the …

Given the distributed, heterogenous, and dynamic nature of service-based IoT systems,
capturing circumstances data underlying service provisions becomes increasingly important …

In distributed computational systems with no central authority, social norms have shown
great potential in regulating the behaviour of self-interested agents, due to their distributed …

The use of norms to guide and coordinate interactions has gained tremendous attention in
the multiagent community. However, as the interest moves towards dynamic socio-technical …

Norms and conventions enable coordination in populations of agents by establishing
patterns of behaviour, which can emerge as agents interact with their environment and each …

We have developed a refined institutional scheme derived from Crawford and Ostrom's
Grammar of Institutions (also referred to as ADICO) that has been adapted for the detailed …
