The Role of Deontic Logic in the Specification of Information Systems [PDF]

open access: yes, 1998
In this paper we discuss the role that deontic logic plays in the specification of information systems, either because constraints on the systems directly concern norms or, and even more importantly, system constraints are considered ideal but violable ...

Free choice and contextually permitted actions [PDF]

open access: yes, 1996
We present a solution to the paradox of free choice permission by introducing strong and weak permission in a deontic logic of action. It is shown how counterintuitive consequences of strong permission can be avoided by limiting the contexts in which an ...

A new tableaux system for KD

open access: yesCQD Revista Eletrônica Paulista de Matemática, 2020
The deontic logic is a particular case of modal logic that analyses relations among the concepts of obligation, permission and prohibition. We take the standard deontic logic KD, for which we introduce a new system of tableaux.

Sobre a lógica deôntica não-clássica

open access: yesCrítica, 2018
Our starting point, in this basically expository paper, is the study of a classical system of deontic propositional logic, classical in the sense that it constitutes an extension of the classical propositional calculus.

A controlled language for the specification of contracts [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Controlled natural languages have been used to enable the direct translation from natural language specifications into a formal description. In this paper we make a case for such an approach to write contracts, and translating into a temporal deontic ...

Obligation as permission : a sound and strongly complete axiomatization [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
In (Anglbergeret al., 2015, Section 4.1), a deontic logic is proposed which explicates the idea that a formulaφis obligatory if and only if it is (semantically speaking) the weakest permission.

Deontic logic as a study of conditions of rationality in norm-related activities [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
The program put forward in von Wright's last works defines deontic logic as ``a study of conditions which must be satisfied in rational norm-giving activity'' and thus introduces the perspective of logical pragmatics.

A modal logic for reasoning on consistency and completeness of regulations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
In this paper, we deal with regulations that may exist in multi-agent systems in order to regulate agent behaviour and we discuss two properties of regulations, that is consistency and completeness.

How generics obscure the logic of conditionals

open access: yesMind &Language, EarlyView.
This paper discusses counter‐examples to modus ponens and modus tollens involving modals and quantificational adverbs, and presents new counter‐examples with generic conditionals. We argue that the counter‐examples are spurious, and are explained by the domain‐restricting effects of if‐clauses.
