Abstract

A review of recent theories of emotion indicates close interconnections between emotion and social norms in human societies. We consider the possibility of implementing these mutual influences in a multi-agent system in order to establish dynamic and flexible control structures. According to some theories, emotion plays a key role in establishing and maintaining these structures by fostering the internalization of and compliance with social norms. Here we introduce a Petri Net based approach to modeling the emergence and maintenance of social norms in multi-agent systems.
