“…Instead, the use of arbitrary deontic formulae would allow expression of norms such as "agent a is obliged to perform φ 1 and φ 2 ". Although we leave this for future work, the treatment of such formulae can be achieved by adding a preliminary stage whereby deontic reasoning (such as, for instance, Artosi et al, 1994;Balbiani, 2008;Lee and Ryu, 1995) would yield atomic formulae which would then be processed as proposed in this Table 3 Summary of related frameworks compared to ν-BDI.…”

a b s t r a c tSystems of autonomous and self-interested agents interacting to achieve individual and collective goals may exhibit undesirable or unexpected behaviour if left unconstrained. Norms have been widely proposed as a means of defining and enforcing societal constraints by using the deontic concepts of obligations, permissions and prohibitions to describe what must, may and should not be done, respectively. However, recent efforts to provide norm-enabled agent architectures that guide plan choices suffer from interfering with an agent's reasoning process, and thus limit the agent's autonomy more than is required by the norms alone. In this paper we describe an extension of the Beliefs-DesiresIntentions (BDI) architecture that enables normative reasoning used to help agents choose and customise plans taking norms into account. The paper makes three significant contributions: we provide a formal framework to represent norms compactly and to manage them; we present a formal characterisation of the normative positions induced by norms of an agent's execution within a given time period; and finally, we put forth a mechanism for plan selection and ranking taking into consideration a set of normative restrictions.
