  2. 1. Norm-Regulation of Agent Systems : Instrumentalizing an algebraic approach to agent system norms

    Author : Magnus Hjelmblom; Magnus Boman; Jan Odelstad; Kim Solin; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Agent System; Norm-regulated; Norm-governed; Normative MAS; Normative Positions; Normative system; Transition system; Computer and Systems Sciences; data- och systemvetenskap;

    Abstract : An architecture for norm-regulated multi-agent systems based on an algebraic approach to normative systems is instrumentalized and further developed. The core of the instrumentalization is a Prolog module, which together with a Java library can be used for creating client/server-based runtime systems. READ MORE

  5. 3. Many-Sorted Implicative Conceptual Systems

    Author : Jan Odelstad; Magnus Boman; Bengt Hansson; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Computer and systems science; Data- och systemvetenskap;

    Abstract : A theory of many-sorted implicative conceptual systems (abbreviated msic-systems) is presented. Examples of msic-systems include legal systems, normative systems, systems of rules and instructions, and systems expressing policies and various kinds of scientific theories. READ MORE

  6. 4. Norms and Alternatives : Logical Aspects of Normative Reasoning

    Author : Karl Nygren; Valentin Goranko; Dag Westerståhl; Ivano Ciardelli; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; alternative semantics; norms; normative systems; deontic logic; modal logic; inquisitive semantics; inquisitive logic; semantics of questions; disjunction; free choice; obligation; permission; action; normative reasoning; ignorance; axiomatic system; completeness; Philosophy; filosofi;

    Abstract : In this thesis, I develop and investigate various novel semantic frameworks for deontic logic. Deontic logic concerns the logical aspects of normative reasoning. In particular, it concerns reasoning about what is required, allowed and forbidden. I focus on two main issues: free-choice reasoning and the role of norms in deontic logic. READ MORE

  7. 5. Industrial Ecology Methods within Engagement Processes for Industrial Resource Management

    Author : Graham Aid; Nils Brandt; Maria Malmström; Enell Magnus; KTH; []
