ARGUMENTATION, RATIONALITY AND DECISION 18th-19th September, 2014 Imperial College London WORKSHOP WEBSITE: http://www.doc.ic.ac.uk/~rac101/ard/ SPONSOR: European Network for Social Intelligence, SINTELNET SUBMISSION AND REGISTRATION DEADLINE: 15th July, 2014 INVITED SPEAKERS: Richard Bradley - LSE Itzhak Gilboa - Yale and HEC, Paris Hugo Mercier - University of Neuchatel Martin Peterson - Eindhoven Institute of Technology Francesca Toni - Imperial College London OVERVIEW: Recent decades have seen an explosion of research into formal argumentation theory within computer science, drawing on roots in philosophy and legal theory. The formalisms developed enable reasoning with incomplete and inconsistent information to reach decisions that are rational according to various criteria. However, this work has largely been conducted in isolation from the established mathematical decision sciences in microeconomic theory. The workshop will bring together philosophers, economists, computer scientists and psychologists to discuss areas of common interests and possible directions for research. PARTICIPATION: 2-page abstracts should be submitted to the EasyChair site: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ard2014 To attend without presenting, please submit a half-page summary of your research interests and previous research themes, also via the EasyChair site: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ard2014 The deadline for submissions and participation is Tuesday 15th July, 2014. PUBLICATIONS: We intend to publish abstracts and/or extended versions of presented papers on CEUR (or a similar repository) and are also considering post-publication in a journal special issue.
