_About the Conference_

The mission of the TARK conferences is to bring together researchers from
a wide variety of fields, including Artificial Intelligence, Cryptography,
Distributed Computing, Economics and Game Theory, Linguistics, Philosophy,
and Psychology, in order to further our understanding of interdisciplinary
issues involving reasoning about rationality and knowledge. Topics of
interest include, but are not limited to, semantic models for knowledge,
belief, and uncertainty, bounded rationality and resource-bounded
reasoning, commonsense epistemic reasoning, epistemic logic, knowledge and
action, applications of reasoning about knowledge and other mental states,
belief revision, and foundations of multi-agent systems.


Submissions are now invited to TARK-XI.  Strong preference will be given
to papers whose topic is of interest to an interdisciplinary audience, and
papers should be accessible to such an audience. Papers will be held to
the usual high standards of research publications. In particular, they
should 1) contain enough information to enable the program committee to
identify the main contribution of the work; 2) explain the significance of
the work -- its novelty and its practical or theoretical implications; and
3) include comparisons with and references to relevant literature. For
submission method, please refer to the conference web page.

Abstracts should be no longer than ten double-spaced pages (4,000 words).
Optional technical details such as proofs may be included in an appendix.
An email address of the contact author should be included. Papers arriving
late or departing significantly from these guidelines risk immediate
rejection.  One author of each accepted paper will be expected to present
the paper at the conference.

Economists should be aware that special arrangements have been made with
certain economics journals (in particular, with International Journal of
Game Theory, Games and Economic Behavior, Journal of Economic Theory,
Econometrica, Theory and Decision, and Mathematical Social Sciences) so
that publication of an extended abstract in TARK will not prejudice
publication of a full journal version.
