Abstract

Ubiquitous environments are characterized by their openness, dynamicity and autonomy. Electronic institutions are the agents’ counterpart of human organizations, which are specifically designed for providing support, trust, and legitimacy in ubiquitous applications. In this paper, we propose an algorithm for norms enforcement in electronic institutions as a coordination strategy in ubiquitous environments by introducing substitution rules that map the norms set for the electronic institution to normative rules that can be implemented in the protocols to govern agents’ interactions in ubiquitous environments.
