Abstract
Norms represent an effective tool for achieving coordination and cooperation among members of open systems. However, agents must be able to adopt norms autonomously. In this sense, the n-BDI proposal is a BDI agent architecture which has been extended in order to allow agents to comply with norms autonomously. Compliance with norms can be explained by both rational and non-rational motivations. Rational motivations consider the influence of norm compliance and violation on agent’s goals. In this work the implementation of rational strategies for making a decision about norm compliance in the n-BDI architecture is described.
