Interactions as Social Practices: towards a formalization
  Multi-agent models are a suitable starting point to model complex social
interactions. However, as the complexity of the systems increase, we argue that
novel modeling approaches are needed that can deal with inter-dependencies at
different levels of society, where many heterogeneous parties (software agents,
robots, humans) are interacting and reacting to each other. In this paper, we
present a formalization of a social framework for agents based in the concept
of Social Practices as high level specifications of normal (expected) behavior
in a given social context. We argue that social practices facilitate the
practical reasoning of agents in standard social interactions.
