CALL FOR PAPERS
DEON2006 Eighth International Workshop on Deontic Logic in Computer Science Special Topic: Artificial Normative Systems Utrecht, The Netherlands 12, 13, and 14 July 2006 http://www.cs.uu.nl/deon2006/ The biennial DEON workshops are designed to promote cooperation among scholars across disciplines who are interested in deontic logic and its use in computer science. These workshops traditionally support research linking the formal-logical study of normative concepts and normative systems with computer science, artificial intelligence, philosophy, organisation theory and law. In addition to these general themes, DEON2006 will encourage a special focus on the topic Artificial Normative Systems There have been seven previous DEON workshops: Amsterdam, December 1991; Oslo, January 1994; Sesimbra, January 1996; Bologna, January 1998; Toulouse, January 2000; London, May 2002; Madeira, May 2004. Selected papers from each of these workshops have been published internationally. The Program Committee invites papers concerned with these WORKSHOP GENERAL THEMES:
ARTIFICIAL NORMATIVE SYSTEMS DEON2006 has a special focus on deontic notions in the theory, specification and implementation of artificial normative systems, such as electronic institutions, norm-regulated multi-agent systems, and artificial agent societies more generally. We also invite studies of hybrid systems, incorporating both human and computer-based agents. Topics of interest in this special theme include, but are not limited to:
SUBMISSION DETAILS Authors are invited to submit an
original, previously
unpublished, research paper pertaining to any of these
topics. The paper should be in English, and should be no longer than 15 pages, or approximately 7500 words. The first page should contain the full name and contact information for at least one of the authors, and it should contain an Abstract of no more than ten lines. Authors should submit their papers electronically, in either .pdf or .ps format. Authors should consult the instructions on the website for submitting
their papers electronically.
(Anyone who is unable to send the paper electronically
and wishes to submit hard copies should inquire for
details from one of the Program Co-Chairs at the
