A Practical Resource-Constrained Norm Monitor
Pages 1508 - 1510
Abstract
Norm monitoring often assumes that monitors have unlimited resources to observe the environment and the actions performed by agents. In this paper, we relax this assumption and propose a practical resource-constrained norm monitor capable of selecting the resources to be deployed based on their cost and value to norm monitoring.

Decentralised Norm Monitoring in Open Multi-Agent Systems: (Extended Abstract)
AAMAS '16: Proceedings of the 2016 International Conference on Autonomous Agents & Multiagent SystemsWe propose an approach to norm monitoring in open multi-agents systems (MAS) in which monitoring is performed by the agents comprising the MAS. Using ideas from scrip systems, we show how to design mechanisms where agents are incentivised to monitor the ...
Norm approximation for imperfect monitors
AAMAS '14: Proceedings of the 2014 international conference on Autonomous agents and multi-agent systemsIn this paper, we consider the runtime monitoring of norms with imperfect monitors. A monitor is imperfect for a norm if it has insufficient observational capabilities to determine if a given execution trace of a multi-agent system complies with or ...
Norm-based mechanism design
The increasing presence of autonomous (software) systems in open environments in general, and the complex interactions taking place among them in particular, require flexible control and coordination mechanisms to guarantee desirable overall system ...
