                         DEON'08 (July 16-18)

The biennial DEON conferences are designed to promote interdisciplinary
cooperation amongst scholars interested in linking the formal-logical
study of normative concepts and normative systems with computer science,
artificial intelligence, philosophy, organisation theory and law. In
addition to these general themes, DEON2008 includes a special
focus on the topic *Security and Trust*.

                       Invited speakers

Nuel Belnap -- Norms in Branching Space-time
Ross Anderson -- Information Security Economics - and Beyond
Martin Abadi -- Access Control and Logics
Dov Gabbay -- Reactive Kripke Models and Contrary to Duty Obligations

                           Program

The conference program is available at http://deon2008.uni.lu/program.html
DEON 2008 is being held jointly with:


                           NorMAS 2008 (July 15-16)

Norms are essential for artificial agents that are to display behaviour
comparable to human intelligent behaviour or collaborate with humans. Norms
play a central role in many social phenomena such as coordination,
cooperation, decision-making, etc. There is an increasing interest in the role of
norms in societies, both inside and outside the agent community. NorMAS
therefore focuses on normative multiagent systems.

                       Invited speaker:

Giovanni Sartor
