title = "Organizations and normative agents",
abstract = "The overall behavior of multiagent systems can be controlled by designing agent organizations and allowable interactions between autonomous and goal directed agents such as 3APL agents. The rules of behavior for individual agents are described using concepts from organization theories such as roles and norms. In this paper, a framework for agent organization is discussed and its related concepts such as norms and roles are formalized. It is argued that organizational roles and norms influence and determine the goals of individual agents whenever they are involved in the corresponding organization. Some formal properties of the relation between individual agents and their organizations is presented. {\textcopyright} Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2002.",
