Most of MAS methodologies and infrastructures do not con-sider direct human participation even though humans can be seen as autonomous entities (i.e. human agents). Virtual Worlds (VW) provide all the necessary means for direct hu-man inclusion into software systems. Virtual Institutions (VI) take advantage of this and combine Electronic Insti-tutions (EI) and VWs to engineer MAS applications where humans participate together with software agents. In this demo, we introduce virtual mWater (v-mWater), a VI for water rights negotiation. 1.
