In this paper we study t-norms on the lattice of closed subintervals of the unit interval. Unlike for t-norms on a product lattice for which there exists a straightforward characterization of t-norms which are join-morphisms, respectively meet-morphisms, the situation is more complicated for t-norms in interval-valued fuzzy set theory. In previous papers several characterizations were given of ...

In this paper we study how to create norms in games. We consider norms as deontic statements which are used to describe prescriptions made by certain randomized signals of which the usage is to guide agents’ behavior. Such randomized signals are implemented from correlated equilibria in games. Our proposal belongs to the offline norm creation approach [ST96]. Agents’ compliance and computationa...

Two studies demonstrated that greater identification with a group was associated with more positive emotions for members who conformed with versus violated the group's norms. These effects were found with injunctive norms, which specify what members should do or what they ideally would do, but emerged less consistently with descriptive norms, which specify what members typically do. Descriptive...

In order to conduct an automated network infrastructure discovery yielding a complete description of the network and its components as possible, it is necessary to analyze data flows and services provided in the network. However, if such an analysis is done without restrictions, it may also capture, process and store personal data of network users. Therefore, such an analysis could be illegal a...

all practical digital circuits are usually a mixture of combinational and sequential logic. flip–flops are essential to sequential logic therefore fuzzy flip–flops are considered to be among the most essential topics of fuzzy digital circuit. the concept of fuzzy digital circuit is among the most interesting applications of fuzzy sets and logic due to the fact that if there has to be an ultimat...

Norms, to become effective, must be recognised as norms by agents. These agents must be able to accept norms but maintaining their autonomy. In this paper, the multicontext BDI agent architecture has been extended with a recognition and a normative context in order to allow agents to acquire norms from their environment and consider norms in their decision making processes.

Social norms surrounding sexuality, pregnancy, and childbearing may help guide women's health-related behaviors. In this study, we explore low-income women's perceptions of fertility-related norms by allowing women to describe their experiences with normative expectations. Semistructured interviews (n = 30) suggested that women in low-income subject positions articulate descriptive norms that g...
