“…As this is accepted by the individual, no external influences, either in terms of rewards or punitive actions are necessary [31,32]. In this matter, Verhagen [20] proposed a computational approach using the difference between a personal viewpoint and the general norm on a particular aspect as a yardstick.…”

Several works have been conducted on norms detection and identification, but almost none has been found to explore the concept of norm's benefit awareness that triggers agents' belief to adopt new norms. The literature discuss norms' adoption by agents which are not aware of the benefits of the adopted norms, but use some mining algorithms to identify the norms from a set of observed events. In this paper, we propose a novel solution to this problem that calculates the benefit of a norm to its utility and subsequently decides to adopt or reject the norm.

“…These ideas are further developed by Lamizet (2004) who characterises conviviality as both 'institutional structures that facilitate social relations and technological processes that are easy to control and pleasurable to use'. An important use for conviviality today is for digital cities as a mechanism to reinforce social cohesion and as a tool to reduce miscoordinations between individuals (Caire and van der Torre, 2009a;Caire, 2009;Caire, 2008).…”

While conviviality has simultaneously been defined in the literature as individual freedom realised in personal interdependence, rational and cooperative behaviour and normative instrument, no model has yet been proposed for computer science. In this article, we raise the question of how to import the concept of conviviality to web communities. Firstly, we analyse the concept of conviviality for social science, multi-agent systems and intelligent interface; we show the distinction among various kinds of use of conviviality, the positive outcomes such as social cohesion, trust and participation but also the negative aspects that emerged when conviviality becomes an instrument of power relations. Secondly, we look at the challenges conviviality raises for computer science, starting with a discussion on the misconceptions about conviviality. We then discuss the role of conviviality in multi-agent systems, for example, as a useful high-level modelling concept for organisations and communities. Thirdly, we consider conviviality for computer science environments and discuss the role of awareness, also pointed out by mixed-initiative interaction design; furthermore, we discuss the importance of guidelines to address privacy challenges raised by new technologies. Fourthly, we look at the normative aspect of conviviality as described in the literature, and find that social norms for conviviality parallel legal and institutional norms for digital cities. Finally, we introduce the idea of conviviality measures based on agents' interdependencies.

“…To this effect, the US government launched in 2006 a business portal to help small businesses comply with Federal regulations, a need that was not being met by any other Federal government program. (Caire, 2007c) In NYC, for instance, to renew online your Driver's License the stipulation is: "You cannot change your address during this transaction. You must have a completed form MV-619 (Eye Test Report) for this transaction.…”

Conviviality is a mechanism to reinforce social cohesion and a tool to reduce mis-coordination between individuals, groups and institutions in web communities, for example in digital cities. We use a two-fold definition of conviviality as a condition for social interactions and an instrument for the internal regulation of social systems. In this paper we discuss the use of social intelligence design to model conviviality for digital cities, by first contrasting commercial with public digital cities, ergonomics with intelligent agents and then, social norms for conviviality with legal and institutional norms in digital cities. We show the role of the distinction among various kinds of use of conviviality, the positive aspects of conviviality and the negative aspects that emergent when conviviality becomes the instrument of power relations or in the absence of conviviality.
