LOFT6

"Logic and the Foundations of the Theory of Games and Decisions"
Leipzig (Germany), July 16 - 18, 2004
http://www.econ.ucdavis.edu/faculty/bonanno/LOFT.html

ORGANIZERS:
Giacomo BONANNO (University of California Davis,U.S.A.)

Pierfrancesco LA MURA (Handelshochschule, Leipzig, Germany)
Arnis VILKS (Handelshochschule, Leipzig, Germany)

AIMS OF THE CONFERENCE

This is the sixth in a series of conferences on the applications of
logical methods to foundational issues in the theory of individual and
interactive decision-making. The previous five conferences took place at
CIRM (Marseille, France) in January 1994 and at ICER (Torino, Italy) in
December 1996, December 1998, July 2000 and July 2002. The complete
programs of the last five conferences are at
http://www.econ.ucdavis.edu/faculty/bonanno/LOFT.html

The aim of the LOFT conferences is to promote exchange across different
disciplines. 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. Among the topics of particular
relevance are:

? Modal logic: epistemic and deontic logic, multi-agent logic, temporal
logic, dynamic logic, probabilistic and multi-valued 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 include 6 invited lectures and 15
contributed papers. Potential contributors should send an extended
abstract of approximately 3 pages in electronic format (pdf, dvi, MS Word
or text), indicating "LOFT6 submission" in the Subject field, to:
gfbonanno@ucdavis.edu The deadline for submission is March 31, 2004, and
authors will be notified of acceptance decisions by May 15, 2004. Those
who wish to participate in the conference without submitting a paper
should express their interest to the Organizing Committee by sending an
e-mail to gfbonanno@ucdavis.edu

PUBLICATION OF CONTRIBUTED PAPERS

Selected papers from the previous LOFT conferences were published in a
volume by Kluwer Academic Press and in the following journals: Theory and
Decision, Mathematical Social Sciences, Games and Economic Behavior,
Bulletin of Economic Research and Research in Economics. It is the
intention of the organizers to publish a selection of the papers presented
at LOFT6 in a suitable platform.
