A computational theory of normative positions

Toward A Normative Theory of Normative Marketing Theory

We show how different approaches to developing marketing strategies depend on the type of environment a firm faces, where environments are distinguished in terms of their systems properties rather than their content. Particular emphasis is given to turbulent environments in which outcomes are not a priori predictable and are not traceable to individual firm actions and we show that, in these co...

Normative positions in multi-agent systems

The Kanger-Lindahl theory of normative positions has great potential of serving as a logical foundation for normative systems for MAS, and its generality allows for great freedom when interpreting the theory. As a first step towards a typology of interpretations of the theory, the application of normative positions is studied in the context of a class of transition systems in which transitions ...

On the Representation of Action and Agency in the Theory of Normative Positions

The theory of normative positions attempts to apply a combination of deontic logic and a logic of action/agency to the formalisation of the ‘Hohfeldian concepts’ (duty, right, power, privilege, etc.) and other complex normative relations between agents. This paper is concerned with the practical applicability of the theory to such tasks as formalising the content of an existing set of regulatio...

A Normative Dynamic Model of Regional Economy

    Dynamic model,   regional economy,   innovation.   This paper presents a normative balance mathematical model of regional economy that contains a lot of unspecified parameters which are not defined directly by the data of economic statistics. A method for estimation of the model parameters by application of parallel computations on multi-processors systems is presented. It is determined the...
