Abstract
Deontic logic (from Ancient Greek deon, what is right) aims to formalize the links existing between the notions of obligation, prohibition, permission and optionality. Deontic logic is at the origin of normative systems which are used to model obligations, prohibitions and sanctions in organizations. In this chapter, we will first present standard deontic logic, then we will analyze its drawbacks. A synthesis of some problems tackled in normative systems is then presented: conditional obligations, norms with exceptions, violations, norms with deadlines and collective obligations. Finally, several application domains for deontic logic are examined.
