<22> The novel contribution of this paper is the definition of a social safety property for distributed agents. An agent's commitment to another often involves temporal constraints over which only others have control. The social safety property holds if the agent has commitments from others about those things before it fulfills its own commitments. Social safety solves a weakness with the use of commitments for specifying distributed agent interactions. Hitherto, commitments’ declarative style was good for capturing the semantics of agents’ interactions, but temporal constraints were difficult to handle.
