CALL FOR PAPERS
Workshop on Logics for the Formation and Dynamics of Social Norm
4-5 May, 2019, Hangzhou
The aim of this workshop is to look in new systematic ways at the contrast between individual values and social values. We go beyond traditional preference or judgment aggregation, placing a focus on agents’ communication at a micro-level in social networks. In that process, agents share new evidence or arguments and they change their preferences or values. Over time, norms then emerge, where some norms die out, while others stabilize. We want to understand this complex of phenomena, with an emphasis on the interplay between social structure and dynamic communication. Parts of these social processes have been studied in different paradigms such as evolutionary game theory, or simulation-based computer science. In this workshop our focus is on also bringing in methods from dynamic-epistemic logic and argumentation theory, broadly conceived, to understand how norms emerge and survive, tied to the agents’ reasoning at each stage. We will consider case studies, such as autonomous driving and the emergence of norms to resolve conflicts, but also general themes, such as the relation between legal rules, individual and social values. We welcome work from a variety of formal perspectives.
LFDSN 2019 will take place at Zhejiang University in Hangzhou, China, 4-5 May 2019. It is funded jointly by the Convergence Research Project for Brain Research and Artificial Intelligence of Zhejiang University (titled “Logic, Cognition and Artificial Intelligence Research Team”) led by Beishui Liao at Zhejiang University, and the National Project “Logics of information Flow in Social Networks” led by Fenrong Liu at Tsinghua University.
