Description
Summary:Human relationships are complex processes that often involve following certain rules that regulate interactions and/or expected outcomes. These rules may be imposed by an authority or established by society. In multi-agent systems, normative systems have extensively addressed aspects such as norm synthesis, norm conflict detection, as well as norm emergence. However, if human behaviour is to be adequately simulated, not only normative aspects but also emotional aspects have to be taken into account. In this paper, we propose a Jason agent architecture that incorporates norms and emotions in its reasoning process to determine which plan (actions) to execute. The proposal is evaluated through a scenario based on a social network, which allows us to analyse the benefits of using emotional normative agents to achieve simulations closer to real human world.
