From Brute Facts to Institutional Facts in Multiagent-Systems

Resumo


Some multi-agent models point to the use of a institutional dimension to ensure a suitable behavior of the agents and to aid the agents in their activities in the system. In some scenarios, the interaction between agents and institution may be mediated by the environment. This approach can be related to the theory of Construction of Social Reality, proposed by John Searle. In this paper we analyse some multi-agent models that propose the creation of institutional facts as result of facts ocurring in the environment. As result, we point some relevant points of the models.
