COMSOC-2006: Computational Social Choice, Amsterdam (Dec 2006)

1st International Workshop on Computational Social Choice
Amsterdam, 6-8 December 2006

http://staff.science.uva.nl/~ulle/COMSOC-2006/

Computational social choice is a new discipline emerging at the interface 
of social choice theory and computer science. It is concerned with the 
application of computational techniques to the study of social choice 
mechanisms, and with the integration of social choice paradigms into 
computing (read more).

The 1st International Workshop on Computational Social Choice 
(COMSOC-2006) will take place on 6-8 December 2006 in Amsterdam. It will 
be hosted by the Institute for Logic, Language and Computation (ILLC) at 
the University of Amsterdam. The aim of the workshop is to bring together 
different communities: computer scientists interested in computational 
issues in social choice; people working in artificial intelligence and 
multiagent systems who are using ideas from social choice to organise 
societies of artificial software agents; logicians interested in the 
logic-based specification and analysis of social procedures (social 
software); and last but not least people coming from social choice theory 
itself.
