Conclusion
Why choose Electronic Institutions?
Motivation for Electronic Institutions
There are situations where individuals interact inways that involve: commitment, delegation,repetition, liability and risk.
These situations involve participants that are:autonomous, heterogeneous, independent,not-benevolent, not-reliable, liable.
These situations are not uncommon: e.g. Markets,medical services, armies and many more.

Conclusion
Why choose Electronic Institutions?
Motivation for Electronic Institutions
It is usual to resort to trusted third parties whose aimis to make those interactions effective by establishingand enforcing conventions that standardizeinteractions, allocate risks, establish safeguards andguarantee that certain intended actions actually takeplace and unwanted situations are prevented.
These functions have been the basis for thedevelopment of many traditional institutions.
Electronic Institutions are designed for agentinteractions in distributed open systems.

Conclusion
Why choose Electronic Institutions?
Electronic institutions development can be dividedinto two basic steps:
F Formal specification of institutional rules.
F Execution via an infrastructure that mediatesagents’ interactions while enforcing theinstitutional rules.
The formal specification focuses on macro-level(rules) aspects of agents, not in their micro-level(players) aspects.
The infrastructure is required to be of generalpurpose (can interpret any formal specification).
