Abstract

To increase positive expectations in the outcome of open multiagent systems, institutions have been put forward to regulate agents' behaviour. To modeland to verifysuch institutions, we propose to adopt the notion of status function, which provides for a unified approach to ontological and deontic aspects regulated by an institution. Also, to enhance the development of functionaland rationalinstitutions, we propose a language amenable to model checking to describe them and their properties. Finally, we present our tool and an evaluation of our approach.
