Scientific focus of the workshop Computational models of norms and normative multi-agent systems: focus be on language level support for the implementation of normative MAS (in particular, programming constructs and their operational semantics). Norms, games, and social choice theory: the connection between normative systems and game theory and the emergence of norms in large-scale societies. Logical, social, philosophical and legal theories of norms for multi-agent systems: emphasis on the need in MAS to use rich normative ontologies of norms similar to the ones of human societies. 2 / 5
