Abstract
This paper presents modeling concepts and mechanisms of the Agent Modeling Language (AML) to model social aspects of multi-agent systems. The modeling of structural, behavioral as well as attitudinal aspects of multi-agent systems from the social perspective is discussed and demonstrated on examples.
