A security model for complex applications based on normative multi-agents system

In this paper we propose a security policy; based on normative multi-agents systems for complex applications. Our idea, focus on the notion of the norm inside a multi-agents system, permitting to influence and guides the agents community behavior, in order to ensure the security of the whole system. The adoption of the multi-agent paradigm is justified by the fact that the latter fits well with the problematic nature. Furthermore, in the multi-agent system, the norm can be an attractive way to describe the pursued objectives. It serves to stipulate certain behavior to be adopted by agents in certain situations, which permit to guide them.
