A Norm-Aware Multi-agent System for Social Simulations in a River Basin

Abstract

Wastewater management is a complex task involving a wide range of technical enviromental and social factors. Furthermore, it typically requires the coordination of a heterogeneous society of actors with different goals. Regulations and protocols can be effectively used to tackle this complexity. In this chapter we present a norm-aware multi-agent system for social simulations in a river basin. The norms we present are inspired in European policies for wastewater management and they can evolve through time
