CfP special issue of JANCL: Formal Models of Norm Change, Deadline: 30 June 2010
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Journal of Applied Non-Classical Logic
Final call for papers (deadline extended)
Special Issue on:
FORMAL MODELS OF NORM CHANGE
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Formal models of norm change have been drawing attention since the seminal work
of Alchourrón and Bulygin on normative systems, and that of Alchourrón,
Gärdenfors and Makinson on the logic of theory change. Research trends in
Artificial Intelligence have recently revived this attention emphasizing the
importance of a formal analysis of the type(s) of dynamics involved in systems
of norms, and norm change has become the topic of a dedicated international
workshop: http://www.cs.uu.nl/events/normchange2/index.html
This special issue aims at providing an up to date account of this recent and
lively research area at the interface of logic, philosophy, computer science
and legal theory.
We invite submissions on any topic in the following, not exclusive, list:
* Dynamic logic approaches to norm change
* AGM-like approaches to norm change
* Deontic logic and the dynamics of informational attitudes
* Deontic logic and game theory
* Formal analysis of legal procedures
* Norm change in legal theory
* Norm change and multi-agent systems
