Abstract:There is an increasing interest on developing virtual enterprises in order to deal with the globalization of the economy, the rapid growth of information technologies and the increase of competitiveness. In this paper we deal with the development of normative virtual enterprises (NOVEs). They are systems with a global objective that are composed of a set of heterogeneous entities and enterprises that exchange services following a specific normative context. In order to analyze and design systems of this kind the multiagent paradigm seems suitable because it offers a specific solutions for supporting the social and contractual relationships between enterprises and for formalising their business processes. This paper presents how the ROMAS methodology, an agent-oriented software methodology, can be used to analyse and design NOVEs. ROMAS offers a complete development process that allows to identify and formalise the structure of NOVEs, their normative context and the interactions among their members. The use of ROMAS is exemplified by means of a case study that represents an automotive supply chain.

Abstract. The subject of this chapter is the application of models for social coordination (M4SC). Deriving from and extending multiagent systems (MAS), applications of M4SC inherit the attributes of MAS, such as multiple actors, distribution, and heterogeneity, but bring characteristics of their own that are essential to social coordination over and above conventional MAS. In this chapter, we first discuss these differentiating properties of M4SC, identifying essential and nonessential (but commonly occurring) characteristics. This we follow with a wideranging (but not exhaustive or exclusive) discussion of classes of M4SC applications, which are supported by structured, illustrative summaries of noteworthy examples of applications, created using the frameworks described elsewhere in this volume. Finally, we give an overview of a broader range applications developed with the frameworks, with links to further reading.

“…Information, produced along these stages becomes useful for inferring relevant trustworthy capabilities of the agents in the network. In this paper, we highlight the approach taken in ANTE (Agreement Negotiation in Normative and Trust-enabled Environments) platform [4] aiming at creating an active Environment that gathers information related with agents' activity for the sake of decision-making [6]. ANTE encompasses a normative framework guiding agents interaction through norms that apply either sanctions or incentives.…”

Part 5: Agents (AGE)International audienceAgents intending to be involved in joint operations need to rely on trust measures pointing to possible future solid partnerships. Using Multi-Agent Systems (MAS) as a paradigm for an electronic institution framework enables both to simulate and facilitate the process of autonomous agents, as either enterprises or individual representatives, reaching joint agreements through automatic negotiation. In the heart of the MAS-based electronic institution framework, a Normative Environment provides monitoring capabilities and enforcement mechanisms influencing agents’ behavior during joint activity. Moreover, it makes available relevant data that can be important for building up contextual-dependent agent’s trust models which, consequently, also influence future possible negotiations leading to new and safer agreements. To support agents data generation and monitoring, we here present ANTE platform, a software MAS integrating Trust models with negotiation facilities and Normative environments, for the creation and monitoring of agent-based networks
