Abstract

Norms have been employed as a coordination mechanism for Open MAS, but to become effective, they must be internalized by agents; i.e. these agents must be able to accept norms while maintaining their autonomy. Nevertheless, traditional BDI agent architectures only represent beliefs, intentions and desires. In this paper, the multicontext BDI agent architecture has been extended with a recognition context and a normative context in order to allow agents to acquire norms from their environment and consider norms in their decisions.
