From Brute Facts to Institutional Facts in Multiagent-Systems

2011 Workshop and School of Agent Systems, their Environment and Applications, 2011
Some multi-agent models point to the use of a institutional dimension to ensure a suitable behavior of the agents and to aid the agents in their activities in the system. In some scenarios, the interaction between agents and institution may be mediated by the environment.

An approach to ontology for institutional facts in the semantic web

Information and Software Technology, 2005

Analysis of the Use of Events and States as Brute Facts in Modelling of Institutional Facts

In previous work, we proposed a model, language and its interpreter to specify the institutional consequences of both events and states from ...
