The workshop was held on May 3, 2021, and was co-located with the 20th International Conference on Autonomous Agents and Multi- agentSystems(AAMAS)—originallysetinLondon,UK,butheldvirtuallyduetothe COVID-19pandemicsituation. Thisistheseconditerationoftheworkshopsinceitsrelabelingin2020asCOINE from its earlier form: COIN (Coordination, Organizations, Institutions and Norms in AgentSystems).Thismodificationmakesexplicittheconsiderationofethicalaspectsas acorepartofthegovernanceofsocialsystems—theoverarchingthemeoftheCOINE workshopseries.Despiteitsnewname,COINEcontinuesthetraditionofitspredecessor bybringingtogetherresearchersinautonomousagentsandmulti-agentsystemsworking onthescientificandtechnologicalaspectsofsocialcoordination,organizationaltheory, normativeMAS,artificialorelectronicinstitutions,andnorm-awareandethicalagents. COINE 2021 received 12 submissions all which underwent two rounds of single- blind peer review. Each submission received feedback by at least three reviewers; this initial assessment was part of the admission to the presentation. Given the recommendations made by the reviewers, nine papers were admitted: six submissions wereacceptedforfullpresentationsandthreeforshortpresentations.Allarticleswere subsequently refined and extended, based on feedback received as part of the reviews andthepresentations,andunderwentasecondroundofreviewsbeforeinclusioninthis post-proceedingsvolumeasfullpapers. Inadditiontothepeer-reviewed submissions,twoinvitedspeakerspresentedtheir work. The first speaker, Marija Slavkovik, introduced the field of machine ethics and its relationship with normative reasoning. Slavkovik presented open challenges and discussedhowtheCOINEcommunitycanengagewiththefield.Thesecondspeaker, JulianPadget,arguedhowconscientiousdesigncanbeusedasaprincipledapproachfor the ethical design and deployment of value-driven agents. Padget discussed how such agents canreflectthewaysocialinstitutionsareconnected throughthegovernance of physicalinteractionandfacilitatehuman-to-humaninteraction.

In thisextendedabstract,Slavkokikprovidesanoverviewofthefieldofmachineethics bydiscussingitsrelationshiptonormativereasoning. Conceptual Frameworks Architectures for Collaboration andCoordination Thistopicoftheproceedingsisdedicatedtoapproachesthatproposeconceptualframe- worksandotherarchitecturesfordevelopingsocially-awareagents.Thisthemecontains workrelatedtotheemergenceandoptimizationofCOINEconcepts,e.g.norms,which facilitatecoordinationandcollaboration. – AFrameworkforAutomaticMonitoringofNormsthatRegulateTimeConstrained ActionsbyNicolettaFornara,SoheilRoshankish,andMarcoColombetti.Thispaper provides a framework for modeling norms, using operational semantics, to enable reasoningwiththesenormstoautomaticallycomputenormsviolationandfulfilment. – CollaborativeHuman-AgentPlanningforResiliencebyRonalSingh,TimMiller,and DarrynReid.Thisworkinvestigateshowhumaninsightscanbeprovidedatrun-time withoutchangingtheartificialagent’sdomainmodelinordertoimprovecollaboration inhuman-machineteamingscenarios. – Environmental consequences of the status-functions in artificial institutions by RafhaelCunha,JomiHubner,andMaiqueldeBrito.Thisworkproposestheexpres- sionoftheconsequencesintheenvironmentofstatusfunctionsinartificialinstitution toaidagents’reasoningovertheirsocialgoals. – Noe:NormsEmergenceandRobustnessBasedonEmotionsinMultiagentSystems bySz-TingTzeng,NiravAjmeri,andMunindar P.Singh.Theauthorsexplore how consideringemotionalresponsestotheoutcomesofnormsatisfactionandviolation affects the emergence and robustness of social norms. Their result demonstrate an improvementinnormscomplianceandpromotionofsocietalwelfare. – Run-time Norms Synthesis in Multi-Objective by Multi-Agent Systems by Maha RiadandFatemehGolpayegani.Thispapersproposesarun-timeutility-basednorm synthesis approach as a mechanism for agents to understand the impact of a sug- gestednormontheirobjectivesanddecidewhetherornottoadoptit.Theaddition of this reasoning mechanism allows agents to optimize against multiple objectives: coordinatingtheirbehaviorwhileachievinganynorms-conflictingobjectives. Modeling and Understanding Social Behavior Using COINE Technologies Thepapersinthisthematicsectiondrawuponreal-worlddatasetsorotherwiseground their assumptions in the literature to investigate social phenomena and provide new insightsandsolutionstosocialproblems. Preface vii – A Bayesian model of information cascades by Sriashalya Srivathsan and Stephen Cranefield. This paper presents a Bayesian model of information cascades. The authors demonstrate how cascades will not necessarily occur and that adding prior agents’informationwilldelayanyeffectsofcascades. – Interactions between social norms and incentive mechanisms in organizations by Ravshanbek Khodzhimatov, Stephan Leitner, and Friederike Wall. This paper focusesonhowindividualsocially-awarebehaviorinterfereswithperformance-based incentivemechanismsinmulti-agentorganizations.Theauthorsdiscusshowpromot- ingsocially-acceptedbehaviormightreduceanorganization’sperformance,butthat reductioncanbemitigatingbyusingindividual-basedincentives. – LearningforDetectingNormViolationinOnlineCommunitiesbyThiagoFreitasdos Santos,NardineOsman,andMarcoSchorlemmer.Thispaperdemonstrateshowthe detectionandgenerationofexplanationsfornormsviolationscanbeusedtomitigate the ill-effects that arise when different members of an online community interpret normsindifferentways.Areal-worldusecase,basedontheWikipediaeditsdata,is presented. – SolvingsocialdilemmasbyreasoningaboutexpectationsbyAbiraSengupta,Stephen Cranefield, and Jeremy Pitt. This article investigates how explicit reasoning about expectations,i.e.future-directedbeliefsthatagentshave,canbeusedtoencodeboth traditionalgametheorysolutionconceptsandsocialmechanismsinsocialdilemma situations. The authors model a collective risk dilemma, based on the plain-plateau scenario, and show how using expectations in the reasoning mechanisms enables cooperationtotakeplace.
