The complexity and scope of software systems continues to grow. One approach to dealing
with this growing complexity is the use of intelligent, multi-agent systems. However, due in …

Context: A normative multi-agent system (NMAS) is composed of agents that their behavior
is regulated by norms. The modeling of those elements (agents and norms) together at …

Today's software industry is tasked with building evermore complex software applications,
