A Normative Organisation Programming Language for Organisation Management Infrastructures
Abstract
The Organisation Management Infrastructure (OMI) is an important component to support and monitor the execution of large-scale open multi-agent organisations whose functioning is described using high-level abstract modelling languages. Their interpretation by the OMI leads to heavy-weight programs, hindering flexibility and evolution. In this paper, we introduce a normative organisation programming language, called NOPL, based on a simple and elegant normative programming language. We show the suitability of these languages for programming the OMI of the oise framework; in particular, we show how oise 's Organisation Modelling Language can be translated into NOPL. We also briefly describe how this all has been implemented on top of ORA4MAS , the artifact-based OMI for oise.
