Abstract

This paper describes a framework for practical reasoning in the presence of norms. We describe a formal normative model constructed using Action-based Alternating Transition Systems. This model is able to represent goals; obligations and prohibitions and their violation; and permissions, which are used to derogate the former. Inspired by Atkinson's scheme for practical reasoning, we utilise argument schemes and critical questions to both show and reason about how goals and obligations lead to preferences over the possible executions of the system. The model then allows us to determine if sufficient information has been provided in order to perform practical reasoning, identify the best courses of action, and explain why specific sequences of actions should be executed by agents within the system.
