CALL FOR PAPERS
Workshop on Logic and Intelligent Interaction
Hamburg, August 11 - 15, 2008
URL: http://ai.stanford.edu/~epacuit/LaII
Organized as part of the European Summer School on Logic, Language and
Information ESSLLI 2008 (http://www.illc.uva.nl/ESSLLI2008/)
***************************************************************************
Workshop Purpose
***************************************************************************
There is a fast-growing interest in logics that deal with intelligent
interaction in communities of agents. There is also a fast-growing jungle of
formal systems. The workshop is dedicated to promising recent convergences,
trying to foster a common sense of what is going on. The sessions will
address five core themes in rational agency:
1. Dynamic and temporal logic of rational agency: Connections between
temporal frameworks (interpreted systems, epistemic temporal logic) and
dynamic epistemic logics
2. Merging belief revision and information update: Connections between
AGM-style belief revision theory, dynamics logics of information and
learning theory.
3. Dynamics logics of preference change and aggregation: Connections between
preference logic, dynamic deontic logic and multi-agent preference merge.
4. Logics of games and strategies: Connections between modal approaches to
games and strategies, and proof/category-theoretic approaches
5. Logics of collective attitudes and social action: Connections between
dynamic logics, judgement aggregation, and social choice, around themes
such as collective agency and deliberation.
This workshop follow follow up many themes discussed in the Dynamics in Logic
Workshop organized by Thomas Agotnes and Hans van Ditmarsch during Week 1
of ESSLLI. The workshop aims to provide a forum for researchers (including
advanced PhD students) to present and discuss their work with colleagues
and researchers who work in the broad subject areas represented at ESSLLI.
