• the formal specification of aspects of norm-governed multi-agent systems and autonomous agents, including (but not limited to) the representation of rights, authorization, delegation, power, responsibility and liability

• the normative aspects of protocols for communication, negotiation and multi-agent decision making

• the formal analysis of the semantics and pragmatics of deontic and normative expressions in natural language, including modals, imperatives, deontic verbs and adjectives, and discourse particles

• advances in formal models of context and discourse structure that aim to explain the use of deontic expressions in natural language, and their significance for communication, action and social structures

• the formal representation of legal knowledge

• the formal specification of normative systems for the management of bureaucratic processes in public or private administration

• applications of normative logic to the specification of database integrity constraints

• game theoretic aspects of deontic reasoning

• emergence of norms, including its logical and computational representation

• deontic paradoxes and their philosophical and linguistic import
