Abstract

Most of the works related to norms and multi-agent systems focus on the design of normative agents systems making the assumption that agents always respect norms. Our aims in this article are (i) to discuss the relevance of this assumption in some specific contexts and to highlight some benefits of designing non-normative behaviour agents, (ii) to expound the methodology followed in a concrete application which consists in traffic simulation at junction. In particular, based on statistical traffic results, we show how non-normative behaviours contribute to improving the realism of simulation.
