| Abstract |
|
Electronic institutions are the agents’ counterpart of
human organizations, which are specifically designed for
providing support, trust, and legitimacy in electronic
commerce applications. Two approaches have been
advocated for the design and modeling of multi agent
systems in an environment that is governed by some kind
of (social) norms: in coordination strategy, multi agent
systems are defined as a set of entities regulated by
mechanisms of social order and created by more or less
autonomous actors to achieve common goals; in
cooperation strategy, agents model specific roles in the
society and interact with each other as means to
accomplish their goals. In this paper, we argue that there
is a relative similarity between the two approaches with
respect to their use of norms as constraints on the social
behavior of multi agents systems.
