Call for Papers DGL08: Second Workshop in Decisions, Games and Logic June 30 - July 2, 2008 Institute for Logic, Language and Computation Amsterdam, The Netherlands Formal approaches to rational individual and interactive decision making is a dynamic and interdisciplinary field of research. The workshop series in Decisions, Games & Logic (DGL) started in 2007 and aims at fostering interactions between graduate students, post-docs and senior researchers from economics, logic and philosophy. Each DGL has an educational and a scientific exchange component. The educational part consists of three tutorials: one on decision theory, one on game theory and one on logic, given by leading researchers. These tutorials provide up-to-date overviews of these fields. Exceptionally, this second edition of the DGL has the pleasure to also feature a talk followed by a discussion panel on conditionals. The scientific exchange part is aimed at graduate students and post-docs to present their current work and to get feedback from fellow graduate students, post-docs and senior researchers. The workshop will take place at the Institute for Logic, Language and Computation (ILLC) in Amsterdam, from June 30 to July 2 2008. We invite submissions of extended abstracts (max. 4 pages, A4, 10pt) by young researchers (graduate and post-docs) in the fields of decision theory, game theory and logic. Preference will be given to conceptual work in these fields and work that combines problems of these fields. All accepted submissions will be allowed 30 minutes for presentation, and will be followed by a short comment from a fellow researcher. There will also be a short presentations session (10 to 15 minutes each, without comments). Submissions for this session (short abstracts, up to 1/2 page) will be selected by the Organizing Committee. For both sessions authors should send an abstract (pdf or postscript format) together with their name, affiliation(s) and current position(s) to dgl08[at]science.uva.nl by April 1. We strongly encourage graduate students to submit. Notification of acceptance will be given by May 15.
