Preface
This volume is the 10th in the COIN (Coordination, Organizations, Institutions and
Norms in Agent Systems) workshop proceedings series, which began in 2006. The
volume contains revised versions of 16 selected papers presented at the two COIN
workshopsin2014.ThefirstworkshoptookplaceonMay6,2014,inParis,France,as
an AAMAS workshop, while the second workshop was co-located with PRICAI on
December 4, 2014, in Gold Coast, Australia.
The papers in this collection have undergone a substantial process of refinement.
Each of the submissions to the workshops was reviewed by at least three Program
Committeemembers.FollowingtheProgramCommittee’srecommendations,accepted
papers were revised and presented in the workshop sessions. The authors were sub-
sequently invited to resubmit their papers taking into account the workshop feedback,
and these papers underwent another round of reviews. The 16 papers selected for this
volume were then revised to address the review feedback, resulting in this volume.
COIN aims to act as a focal point for stimulating discussion, facilitating the
emergence of novel ideas, and creating a lively and robust community. Authors and
reviewerswerethereforeencouragedtosubmitandacceptunconventionalapproaches,
particularlyiftheyweredrivenbyideasfromotherdisciplines.Therangeofpapersin
this volume reflect this breadth of scope, ranging from work on formal aspects of
normative and team-based systems, to software engineering with organizational con-
cepts,toapplicationsofCOIN-basedsystems,andtophilosophicalissuessurrounding
socio-technical systems. We believe that the papers contained in this volume not only
highlighttherichnessofexistingworkinthefield,butalsopointoutthechallengesand
excitingresearchthatremainstobedoneinthearea,whichwillnodoubtleadtofuture
volumes in this series of workshop proceedings.
Finally, we would like to thank the authors and presenters of papers in the two
COIN workshops for their high-quality contributions, and we would also like to
acknowledge the efforts of the reviewers, who took time to participate in discussions
and provide in-depth feedback to the authors. We believe that the effort put into the
reviewing process, and the changes made by the authors in response to the review
feedback, is evident in the quality of the papers in this volume.
