CFP: The 17th International Conference on Deontic Logic and Normative,Systems (DEON 2025)

*******************************************************
CALL FOR PAPERS: DEON 2025, VIENNA

  The 17th International Conference on Deontic Logic and Normative
Systems (DEON 2025) will be held
       July 1 - July 03, 2025 at TU Wien (Vienna, Austria).
The conference will be preceded by a day of tutorials on June 30.

  We happily invite paper submissions and participation at DEON 2025.

*About the DEON conference series*
The biennial International Conference on Deontic Logic and Normative
Systems (DEON) conference series
aims at bringing together researchers interested in the formal study of
normative concepts, normative reasoning, and normative systems using
methods from computer science, artificial intelligence,
philosophy, linguistics, mathematics, and law. The series particularly
aims at fostering interdisciplinary collaboration that combines methods
from these various fields. Topics include but are not limited to
the investigation of normative reasoning, concepts, and systems in
relation to: agency and action, argumentation, defeasible reasoning,
deontic modals, epistemic reasoning, explainability,
knowledge representation, legal reasoning, multi-agent systems, natural
language, norm change/revision, philosophy of reasons, policy preference
reasoning, responsibility, social values, temporal reasoning and
trustworthy systems.

We welcome submissions of both theoretical and applied research for DEON
2025, and encourage interdisciplinary work.

*Special focus*
In addition to the general themes of the DEON conference series, DEON
2025 encourages the submission of papers on the special theme of
Normative AI. The central aim of Normative AI is to ensure that AI
systems make morally, legally, and socially acceptable decisions. As AI
becomes increasingly important to human society, it is crucial to ensure
that these technologies have a positive and responsible impact. This
highly interdisciplinary field involves the evaluation and development
of theories, formal frameworks, and algorithms, integrating both
symbolic and sub-symbolic AI methods.
