Formal Models of Norm Change 2
Workshop, University of Amsterdam, 18-19 January 2010
Formal models of norm change have been drawing attention since the seminal
work
of Alchourrón and Bulygin on normative systems, and that of Alchourr
ón,
Gärdenfors and Makinson on the logic of theory change. Recent research
trends
in Artificial Intelligence (e.g., virtual organizations, electronic
institutions and e-government, multiagent systems, p2p networks) have also
stressed the importance of a formal analysis of all kinds of dynamic aspect
s
involved in systems of norms: from how norms influence and change the cogni
tive
status of agents, to how norms regulate the dynamic interaction of rational
agents, to how norms themselves can be changed by the agents of a society.
The symposium tackles such dynamic aspects involved in normative systems, b
y
pursuing an interdisciplinary approach at the interface of (deontic) logic,
artificial intelligence, and socio-economical disciplines. More specificall
y,
topics of interest will be: norms and games, norms for the dynamics of
interaction (procedures), the dynamics of normative systems, norm change an
d
the dynamics of different cognitive attitudes (e.g. knowledge and preferenc
e).
A first edition of the symposium was held at the University of Luxembourg i
n
2007 (Formal Models of Norm Change 2007) and the theme of norm dynamics has
regularly surfaced in recent editions of workshop and conferences in the sa
me
area: NorMAS07, NorMAS08 , DEON08, NorMAS09.
