Incentivising monitoring in open normative systems (2017)
Conference Proceeding
Alechina, N., Halpern, J. Y., Kash, I. A., & Logan, B. (2017). Incentivising monitoring in open normative systems.

We present an approach to incentivising monitoring for norm violations in open multi-agent systems such as Wikipedia. In such systems, there is no crisp definition of a norm violation; rather, it is a matter of judgement whether an agent’s behaviour...
