Paper Accepted: A Semantic Framework for Socially Adaptive Agents - Towards strong norm compliance

A slightly delayed announcement because the referee's comments required a lot of work, but this will be in AAMAS 2015 (Autonomous Agents and Multi-agent systems). It's a follow up to our 2013 paper Agent Reasoning for Norm Compliance: A Semantic Approach. Once again Birna took the lead, but I helped with a lot of the proofs and we did most of the work while she was on a two week visit to Liverpool in the Autumn.

In our last paper we allowed an agent to comply with a set of social (or other) norms by simply doing nothing. In this paper we tackle situations where "doing nothing" isn't actually appropriate. The up shot is that we can't guarantee than some agent can obey all social norms, but we do manage to define some norm set that any agent should be able to follow.
