Defeasible deontic logic [PDF]
Relevant to philosophy, law, management, and artificial intelligence, these papers explore the applicability of nonmonotonic or defeasible logic to normative reasoning. The resulting systems purport to solve well-known deontic paradoxes and to provide a better treatment than classical deontic logic does of prima facie obligation, conditional obligation,

Ontology structure, a core of semantic web is an excellent tool for knowledge representation and semantic visualization. Moreover, knowledge reuse is made possible through similarity measure estimation between two ontologies, threshold estimation and use

Algebras for Agent Norm-Regulation
An abstract architecture for idealized multi-agent systems whose behaviour is regulated by normative systems is developed and discussed. Agent choices are determined partially by the preference ordering of possible states and partially by normative ...

Cariani (Ought and resolution semantics) has proposed a semantics for ought that combines two features: (i) it invalidates Inheritance, i.e. the inference from ought to ought whenever is logically weaker than , and it does so in a principled manner; (ii) it allows for coarseness, which means that ought can be true even if there are specific ways of ...
