The bienn ial DEON conferences are designed to promote inter disciplinary cooperation amongst scholars interest ed in linking the formal-logical study of normativ e concepts, normative language and normative syste ms with computer science, artificial intelligence, linguistics, philosophy, organization theory and law. In addition to these general themes, DEON 202 0/21 will encourage a special focus on the topic ' Norms in Social Perspective'.
\n\nKeynote speakers: Marcia Baron (Indiana University, Bloomington), Emiliano Lorini (IRIT-CNRS, Toulouse Universi ty, France), Shyam Nair (Ariz ona State University, Tempe), and Sonja Smets (ILLC, Univer sity of Amsterdam).
\n\nWe hope the global and local situation will allow us to hold the con ference in person. If that will not be the case, w e are prepared to hold the conference online, part ially or totally. Contributors will be informed in advance.
\nAuthors are invit ed to submit an original, previously unpublished, short research paper pertaining to any of DEON top ics. The paper should be in English, anonymized, a nd should be no longer than 15 pages (including no tes and appendix, but excluding bibliography). The submission of a short abstract must precede the p aper’s submission.
\n\nDue to COVID-19, we had to postpone the DEON conference to the summer of 2021. A first round of papers was already sele cted last summer. With this extra call for new sub missions, we hope to attract authors who were not already accepted within last summer's round. Selec ted submissions for this round will be published i n the proceedings together with those of the first round, and presented at the conference. We strong ly encourage women and other members of under-repr esented groups in academia to submit a paper.
