Abstract :
Bureaucracies are considered as organizations whose administration is rationalised in the form of explicit rules and procedures. A logic-based representation is presented, based on deontic logic, for modeling bureaucratic transactions and constraints and their effects on the responsibilities and privileges of individuals in the organization.<>
