- Proposes a method with which agents can decide which norms should prevail when faced with conflicting norms, which is a key challenge of normative reasoning. The significance of this work is that it does not require a pre-defined static order over norms, instead allowing agents to dynamically compute a preference over norms tailored to the current situation, through novel application of coherence theory principles. Rigour is demonstrated through experiments that compare our proposal against existing proposals, showing that it resolves almost all conflicts, and that it provides outcomes that are better suited to a dynamic, uncertain and non-deterministic environment.
