Call Deadline: 21-Feb-2021
Meeting Description:
The biennial DEON conferences are designed to promote interdisciplinary
cooperation amongst scholars interested in linking the formal-logical study of
normative concepts, normative language and normative systems with computer
science, artificial intelligence, linguistics, philosophy, organization theory
and law.
In addition to the general theme of the DEON conferences, DEON 2020/21 will
encourage a special focus on the topic: Norms in Social Perspective.
The DEON conference was originally scheduled for the Summer of 2020 but, due
to COVID-19, it has been postponed to 21-24 July 2021. A first round of papers
was already selected in 2020. An extra call for a small number of additional
papers is distributed in 2021 (see Important Dates on website).
Call for Papers:
We invite papers concerned with the following topics (non-exclusive list):
- the logical study of normative reasoning, including formal systems of
deontic logic, defeasible normative reasoning, logics of action, logics of
time, and other related areas of logic
- the formal analysis of normative concepts, normative systems (and their
dynamics)
- the formal specification of aspects of norm-governed multi-agent systems
and autonomous agents, including (but not limited to) the representation of
rights, authorization, delegation, power, responsibility and liability
- the normative aspects of protocols for communication, negotiation and
multi-agent decision making
- the formal analysis of the semantics and pragmatics of deontic and
normative expressions in natural language, including modals, imperatives,
deontic verbs and adjectives, and discourse particles
- advances in formal models of context and discourse structure that aim to
explain the use of deontic expressions in natural language, and their
significance for communication, action and social structures
- the formal representation of legal knowledge
- the formal specification of normative systems for the management of
bureaucratic processes in public or private administration
- applications of normative logic to the specification of database integrity
constraints
- game theoretic aspects of deontic reasoning
- emergence of norms, including its logical and computational representation
- deontic paradoxes and their philosophical and linguistic import
- the connection between argumentation theory and normative reasoning,
including the role of reasons and justifications
We open an extra call for a small number of additional papers. With this extra
call, we hope to attract authors who did not already contribute to last year's
publication round. Authors are invited to submit an original, previously
unpublished, short research paper pertaining to any of the DEON topics.
The paper should be in English, anonymized, and should be no longer than 15
pages (including notes and appendix, but excluding bibliography). The paper
must be formatted according to the LaTeX specification that can be downloaded
on our website. The first page should contain an abstract of no more than ten
lines.
The submission of the abstract must precede the submission of the paper.
Authors should submit electronically using EasyChair
(https://easychair.org/account/signin?l=AXKHfr42q5rEsw3dPwKTk2).
Each submitted paper will be carefully peer-reviewed by a panel of PC members
based on originality, significance, technical soundness, and clarity of
exposition and relevance for the conference. For each accepted paper, at least
one author is required to register for the conference and should plan to
present the paper.
We strongly encourage women and other members of under-represented groups in
academia to submit.
Important Dates:
- Abstract submission deadline: 21 February, 2021
- Paper submission deadline: 28 February, 2021
- Notification: 16 May, 2021
- Camera Ready: 30 May, 2021
- Conference: 21-24 July, 2021
