In these situations, the agent should be able to reason about the ethical bases of the decision and explain its decision in terms of the moral values involved. This is of special importance when the agent is interacting with a user and should understand the value priorities of the user in order to provide adequate support. This paper presents a model of agent behavior that takes into account user preferences and moral values.","doi":"10.24963/ijcai.2017/26","url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2017/26","pdf":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2017/0026.pdf","markdown":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2017/26.md","bibtex":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2017/bibtex/26","volume":{"slug":"2017","title":"Proceedings of the Twenty-Sixth International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence","short_title":"IJCAI 2017","url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2017/","year":2017,"location":"Melbourne, Australia","dates":"19-25 August 2017","editors":"Carles Sierra","isbn":"978-0-9992411-0-3","publisher":"International Joint Conferences on Artificial Intelligence Organization","doi_prefix":"10.24963/ijcai.2017"},"section":"Agent-based and Multi-agent Systems","track":"Main track","number":26,"pages":{"first":178,"last":184},"keywords":["Agent-based and Multi-agent Systems: Engineering methods, platforms, languages and tools","Agent-based and Multi-agent Systems: Normative systems","Knowledge Representation, Reasoning, and Logic: Preference modelling and preference-based reasoning"],"videos":[],"references":[{"position":1,"raw":"[Bordini et al., 2002] Rafael H.
