Abstract

Institutions are established to regulate the interactions between parties that are performing some (business) transaction. One of the main roles of institutions is to inspire trust into the parties that perform the transaction. The main focus of this paper is how an electronic organization should be specified on the basis of the abstract patterns given by the institution on which the organization is formed, i.e., how can we define a (formal) relation between the (abstract) norms specified in the institutional regulations and the concrete rules and procedures of the organization such that the agents will operate within the organization according to the institutional norms or can be punished when they are violating the norms.
