Abstract

The first source of motivation for our work is the modelling of multi-agent systems. In particular, we follow the approach of [1] that combines two perspectives: (a) a cognitive account of agents that specifies motivational attitudes, using the BDI architecture [2], and (b) modelling of agent societies by means of normative concepts [3].
