A Deontic Action Logic with Sequential Composition of Actions
نویسندگان
چکیده
We start our investigations from the deontic action model defined in multi-situation settings. Then we discuss the validity of formulas constructed in a language with a finite number of basic actions, parallel and sequential compositions of actions, a free choice operator and the standard deontic operators of obligation, strong permission and prohibition. The main achievements of the paper are definitions of metalogical counterparts of deontic operators and interpretation function of actions taking into account their terminating and non-terminating executions.

A Systematics of Deontic Action Logics Based on Boolean Algebra
Within the scope of interest of deontic logic, systems in which names of actions are arguments of deontic operators (deontic action logic) have attracted less interest than purely propositional systems. However, in our opinion, they are even more interesting from both theoretical and practical point of view. The fundament for contemporary research was established by K. Segerberg, who introduced...
متن کاملA Deontic Relevant Logic Approach to Reasoning about Actions in Computing Anticipatory Systems
A computing anticipatory system must have the ability to make decision about its next action. To design and develop various computing anticipatory systems effectively, it is desirable to find a general methodology for decision making in computing anticipatory systems. This paper presents a deontic relevant logic approach to reasoning about actions in computing anticipatory systems. The paper di...
متن کاملA Functional Program for Agents, Actions, and Deontic Specifications
We outline elements of the Abstract Contract Calculator, a prototype language implemented in Haskell (a declarative programming language) in which we simulate agents executing abstract actions relative to deontic specifications. The deontic specifications are prohibition, permission, and obligation. The concepts of deontic specifications are derived from Standard Deontic Logic and Dynamic Deont...
متن کاملA Logical Analysis of the Relationship between Commitment and Obligation
In this paper, we analyze the relationship between commitment and obligation from a logical viewpoint. The principle of commitment implying obligation is proven in a specific logic of action preference which is a generalization of Meyer’s dynamic deontic logic. In the proposed formalism, an agent’s commitment to goals is considered as a special kind of actions which can change her deontic prefe...
متن کاملAction negation and alternative reductions for dynamic deontic logics
Dynamic deontic logics reduce normative assertions about explicit complex actions to standard dynamic logic assertions about the relation between complex actions and violation conditions. We address two general, but related problems in this field. The first is to find a formalization of the notion of ‘action negation’ that (1) has an intuitive interpretation as an action forming combinator and ...
