Abstract Can autonomous systems replace humans in the performance of their activities? How does answer to this question inform design systems? The study technical and features should be preceded by activities which they play roles. Each activity can described its overall goals, governing norms intermediate steps are taken achieve goals follow norms. This paper uses realist approach conceptualiz...

We obtain sufficient conditions for commutative non-autonomous systems on certain metric spaces (not necessarily compact) to be topologically stable. In particular, we prove that: (i) Every mean equicontinuous, expansive system with strong average shadowing property is (ii) recurrently eventual (iii)

The article questions the compliance of autonomous weapons systems with international humanitarian law (IHL). It seeks to answer this question by analysing application core principles regard use systems. As part discussion on compliance, also considers implications riskless warfare where non-human agents are used. presupposes that it is actually possible for AWS comply IHL in very broad and gen...
