Expressing and Reasoning about Conflicting Norms in Cybersecurity: Poster

Secure collaboration requires the collaborating parties to apply the
right policies for their interaction. We adopt a notion of
conditional, directed norms as a way to capture the standards of
correctness for a collaboration. How can we handle conflicting norms?
We describe an approach based on knowledge of what norm dominates what
norm in what situation. Our approach adapts answer-set programming to
compute stable sets of norms with respect to their computed conflicts
and dominance. It assesses agent compliance with respect to those
stable sets. We demonstrate our approach on a healthcare scenario.
