Journal of Applied Non-Classical Logic
Final call for papers (deadline extended)
Special Issue on:
FORMAL MODELS OF NORM CHANGE
----------------------------------------------------------------------


Formal models of norm change have been drawing attention since the seminal workof Alchourrón and Bulygin on normative systems, and that of Alchourrón,Gärdenfors and Makinson on the logic of theory change. Research trends inArtificial Intelligence have recently revived this attention emphasizing theimportance of a formal analysis of the type(s) of dynamics involved in systemsof norms, and norm change has become the topic of a dedicated internationalworkshop: http://www.cs.uu.nl/events/normchange2/index.html

This special issue aims at providing an up to date account of this recent andlively research area at the interface of logic, philosophy, computer scienceand legal theory.

We invite submissions on any topic in the following, not exclusive, list:

* Dynamic logic approaches to norm change

* AGM-like approaches to norm change

* Deontic logic and the dynamics of informational attitudes

* Deontic logic and game theory

* Formal analysis of legal procedures

* Norm change in legal theory

* Norm change and multi-agent systems
