Abstract

The existence of Normative Multi-Agent Systems, where the interaction between agents with different internal architectures is governed by norms, promotes the existence of an ontology suitable to define these related concepts. In this context, we highlight TAO, a conceptual framework for MAS, used as a foundation for the modeling language MAS-ML. However, TAO foresees limited support for representing the norm concepts and the different agent architectures. This paper describes the extension of TAO to allow the representation of these concepts.
