SUMMARY:Normative Multi-Agent Systems (NorMAS 2016
 ), Den Haag, The  Netherlands
DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20160829
DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20160830
LOCATION:Den Haag, The  Netherlands
DESCRIPTION:Normative systems are complex systems 
 which use normative concepts in order to describe 
 or specify their behaviour. A normative multi-agen
 t system combines models for normative systems (de
 aling for example with conventions, or obligations
 ) with models for multi-agent systems (dealing wit
 h coordination between individual agents). Norms h
 ave been proposed in multi-agent systems and compu
 ter science to deal with issues of coordination, s
 ecurity, electronic commerce, electronic instituti
 ons and agent organization.   Due to the lack of a
  unified theory, many researchers are presently de
 veloping their own ad hoc concepts and application
 s. The aim of this workshop is to stimulate interd
 isciplinary research on normative concepts and the
 ir applications.   For more information, please co
 ntact the organizers, or refer to the homepage at 
 http://icr.uni.lu/normas/.   Authors are invited t
 o submit original, previously unpublished, researc
 h papers written in English. The NorMAS community 
 is multi-disciplinary, and we welcome work from di
 fferent scientific backgrounds: theoretical work, 
 implementation- oriented work and empirical work. 
 Papers should contain some form of evaluation appr
 opriate to the type of research. Paper submission 
 until: June 12th, 2016.
