Abstract

In multi-agent systems, social commitments are increasingly used to capture roles, social norms, the semantics of agent communication as well as other inter-agent dependencies. Those systems rest on the assumption that agents respect their commitments. In this paper, we present an ontology of sanctions and punishment philosophies which are required ingredients of any social control mechanism susceptible to fosters agents' compliance with the commitments they create.
