Demonstrating Exception Handling in JaCaMo

Abstract: Current models for multi-agent organizations offer effective abstractions to build distributed systems, but lack a systematic way to address exceptions. This demonstration presents an exception handling mechanism in the context of the JaCaMo framework, based on the notions of responsibility and feedback. The mechanism is seamlessly integrated within organizational concepts, such as goals and norms.
