Pupils’interactions and decision-making in an educational game [PDF]
By way of video observations, the current article examines the social interaction of pupils playing an educational card game about fractions, focusing on their epistemic and deontic negotiations during decision-making in dyads.

Factors Impacting a UK Based Software Business on International Expansion [PDF]
This paper empirically examines the factors influencing a UK-based software businesses’ expansion into the EU through a case study of Deontics, a UK-based software company.

A Kelsenian Deontic Logic [PDF]
Inspired by Kelsen’s view that norms establish causal-like connections between facts and sanctions, we develop a deontic logic in which a proposition is obligatory iff its complement causes a violation. We provide a logic for normative causality, define non-contextual and contextual notions of illicit and duty, and show that the logic of such duties is

Normative capabilities in multi-agent systems (MAS) can be represented within agents, separately as institutions, or a blend of the two. This paper addresses how to extend the principles of open MAS to the provision of normative reasoning capabilities, which are currently either embedded in existing MAS platforms - tightly coupled and inaccessible - or

Abstract The use of meta-rules in logic, i.e., rules whose content includes other rules, has recently gained attention in the setting of non-monotonic reasoning: a first logical formalisation and efficient algorithms to compute the (meta)-extensions of such theories were proposed in Olivieri et al. (2021, Computing defeasible meta-logic.

Deontics is a topic of conversation-analytic inquiry, focusing on how participants’ rights to determine action are oriented to and drawn upon, as observable in the ways in which the participants design their actions and organize them as sequences of ...

Modality, expected utility, and hypothesis testing
International audienceWe introduce an expected-value theory of linguistic modality that makes reference to expected utility and a likelihood-based confirmation measure for deontics and epistemics, respectively.

It is well-known that systems of action deontic logic emerging from a standard analysis of permission in terms of possibility of doing an action without incurring in a violation of the law are subject to paradoxes. In general, paradoxes are acknowledged as such if we have intuitions telling us that things should be different.

Deontic Redundancy: A Fundamental Challenge for Deontic Logic [PDF]
To decide which norms can be removed from a system, we need to know when a norm is redundant. After shifting the focus of attention in deontic logic from detachment of obligations and permissions to deontic redundancy, I discuss in this paper five benchmark examples of deontic redundancy in reasoning about permissions, intermediate concepts and ...

In this article, we introduce a logic for reasoning about probability of normative statements. We present its syntax and semantics, describe the corresponding class of models, provide an axiomatization for this logic and prove that the axiomatization is sound and complete. We also prove that our logic is decidable.
