Agents may have incomplete knowledge about norms in a system for several reasons, such as, deficient norms identification techniques or because norms are not fixed and they may change and emerge, etc. ...
Most of this work focuses on two types of norms: prohibitions and obligations. ...

We give representations of requests for resource usage as a set of conditional norms and a use policy as specifying what norms should and should not be imposed on a resource (i.e. a set of meta-norms). ...
Our main contribution is a reasoner built on the Event Calculus, that detects conflicts between requests and use policies, determining whether the request can be accepted. ...
In reasoning about meta-norms, López, Luck and D'Inverno [15] propose a kind of legislative meta-norm to govern which norms an agent may issue or abolish. ...

The labelling mechanism presented in this paper is therefore a critical step towards enabling an agent to reason about norm violations -the agent becomes norm-autonomous. ...

As a result, the decision-making space of agents concerning contractual obligations is enlarged and becomes richer. We discuss the issues that agents should take into account in this extended setting. ...
When modeling commitments in business contracts, directed obligations have been studied for identifying two agents: the obligation's bearer and the counterparty, who may claim for legal action in case ...
A directed obligation from agent b towards agent c to bring about f means that b is obliged to bring about f and if b does not bring about f then c is permitted to initiate legal action against b. ...
