12-15 Jul 2014
Gent, Belgium

12th International Conference on Deontic logic and Normative Systems
12-15 July 2014, Ghent, Belgium
http://www.deon2014.ugent.be
[co-located with TiL 2014]


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,
organization theory and law.

In addition to these general themes, DEON 2014 will have a
special focus on the topic:

   	       	 Deontic modalities in natural language

There have been eleven previous DEON conferences: Amsterdam, December
1991; Oslo, January 1994; Sesimbra, January 1996; Bologna, January
1998; Toulouse, January 2000; London, May 2002; Madeira, May 2004;
Utrecht, July 2006, Luxembourg, July 2008, Fiesole July 2010, Bergen,
July 2012.


This DEON will be colocated with the 2014 edition of TiL (Trends in
Logic), 8 July - 11 July, same venue:
