In this paper, we sketch the basic elements of an operational notion of morality for multiagent systems. We build such notion on the qualitative economy of exchange values that arises in an artificial social system when its agents are able to assess the quality of services that they exchange between each other during their interactions. We present tentative formal definitions for some foundational concepts, and we suggest how the operational notion of morality introduced here can be useful in enhancing the stability and other features of multiagent systems.
