چکیده
In this paper we analyse some logical notions relevant for representing the dynamics of institutionalised organisations. In particular, some well-known action concepts introduced in the Kanger-Lindahl-Pörn logical theory of agency are discussed and integrated. Secondly, moving from the work of Jones and Sergot, a logical characterisation is provided of the ideas of institutional links, “counts-as” connections, and institutional facts . This approach is then enriched by a new modal operator proc, intended to account for the autonomous and decentralised creation of new institutional facts and normative positions within institutions.

متن کاملInformation, Trade, and the Origin of Banks
This paper puts forward an explanation for the origin and existence of banks based on the role of information in trade. We consider an economy populated by publicly “visible” institutions, that is institutions whose actions are observable by every agent in the economy. As long as the extent of trade is limited, these institutions can act as “fairs” and sustain trade by recording and disseminati...
متن کاملSome notes for topological centers on the duals of Banach algebras
We introduce the weak topological centers of left and right module actions and we study some of their properties. We investigate the relationship between these new concepts and the topological centers of of left and right module actions with some results in the group algebras.
متن کاملHoare vs Milner: Comparing Synchronizations in a Graphical Framework With Mobility
We compare the expressive power of Hoare (i.e., CSP style) and Milner (i.e., CCS style) synchronizations for defining graph transformations in a framework where edges can perform actions on adjacent nodes to synchronize their evolutions. Furthermore, nodes can be communicated and merged. We show that the expressive powers of the two synchronization models are different, but no one is greater th...
