Resumen: The mWater scenario requires the expression and use of regulations
of different sorts: from actual laws and regulations issued by governments,
to policies and local regulations issued by basin managers, to social norms that
prevail in a given community of users. Some will be regimented as part of the
electronic institutional framework specification, but others need to be expressed in
a declarative form so that one may reason about them, both off- and on-line, both
at design and at run time, and both from the institutional (or legislative) perspective
and the agent's individual perspective. Issues that are relevant in this respect
range from the choice of expressive formalism to the decision-making strategies
that agents might use to comply or disobey regulations. Thus, structural aspects
like governance, dynamics of norms (also from the legislative and execution perspectives)
as well as criteria to evaluate the effectiveness of norms may and need to
be explored in the demonstrator.
