About Trends in Logic XVII
Trends in Logic is the conference series of the journal »Studia Logica« (see http://www.studialogica.org and http://link.springer.com/journal/11225).
The 17th Trends in Logic international conference will be held at the John Paul II Catholic University of Lublin, Lublin, Poland, from September 12−September 15, 2017 under the title Traditional and New Approaches to Deontic Logic and Action Modeling. It is organized by the Department of the Foundations of Computer Science at the Faculty of Philosophy of the John Paul II Catholic University of Lublin, in co-operation with »Studia Logica«.
Reasoning about moral and legal characteristics of human acts has been a subject of deontic logic for at least 60 years. Recently new developments like self-driving cars, autonomous weapons and caring robots, involving important decisions of artificial agents in the context of various norms, make deontic logic relate more to technology.
To reflect the importance of those issues we suggest the subject: Traditional and New Approaches to Deontic Logic and Action Modeling for the next Trends in Logic conference.
We call for relevant contributions applying the different approaches to:
- deontic logic,
- normative aspects of action theory,
- formal ethics,
- legal theory,
- handling norms in computer systems.
A special session on obligations derived from permissions, related to the a special issue of Studia Logica, will be a part of the conference.
