Abstract

In regulated organizations, norms may come from various regulation sources imposed by different institutions. With possibly conflicting values and interests, inconsistencies are likely to occur among these norms, e.g., one norm obliges some actions to be done while another norm prohibits the same actions. In this paper, we propose a formalization of norm conflicts based on the normative states of interrelated norms. Then via operationalizing the normative structure based on Colored Petri Nets, we propose a method for detecting such conflicts.
