LOFT9 2010
9th Conference on Logic and the Foundations of Game and Decision Theory
University of Toulouse (France),  5 - 7 July, 2010
http://www.econ.ucdavis.edu/faculty/bonanno/loft9.html

CALL FOR PAPERS

AIMS OF THE CONFERENCE. This is the ninth in a series of conferences on 
the applications of logical methods to foundational issues in the theory 
of individual and interactive decision-making. Preference is given to 
papers which bring together the work and problems of several fields, such
 
as game and decision theory, logic, computer science and artificial 
intelligence, philosophy, cognitive psychology, mathematics and mind 
sciences.

The previous eight conferences took place at CIRM (Marseille, France) in 
January 1994, at ICER (Torino, Italy) in December 1996, December 1998, 
July 2000 and July 2002, in Leipzig in July 2004, in Liverpool in July 
2006 and in Amsterdam in 2008 (see: 
http://www.econ.ucdavis.edu/faculty/bonanno/loft.html)

Among the topics of particular relevance are:

(*) Modal logics for games and protocols: epistemic and deontic logic, 
multi-agent logic, temporal logic, dynamic logic, probabilistic and 
multivalued logic, logic of belief revision.

(*) Foundations of game and decision theory: epistemic foundations of 
solution concepts, information processing and communication in games, 
belief formation and revision in games.

(*) Learning and information-processing models: economic aspects of 
information processing, learning in game-theoretic contexts, inductive 
learning and inductive decision making.

(*) Bounded rationality approaches to game and decision theory.

SUBMISSION INFORMATION. The three-day conference will give opportunity for
 
paper presentations and discussions. Potential contributors should submit
 
an extended abstract of approximately 5 - 10 pages in PDF format through 
http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=loft2010 The deadline for 
submission is March 15, 2010, and authors will be notified of acceptance 
decisions by April 18, 2010.

PUBLICATION OF CONTRIBUTED PAPERS. A selection of papers presented at 
LOFT9 will be published in a special issue of the International Journal of
 
Game Theory. For a list of publications based on previous LOFT conferences
