LOFT9 2010
Ninth Conference on Logic and the Foundations of Game and Decision Theory
University of Toulouse , France, 21-23 July 2010

AIMS OF THE CONFERENCE
This is the ninth in a series of conferences on the applications of
logical methods to foundational issues in the theory of individual and
interactive decision-making. Preference is given to papers which bring
together the work and problems of several fields, such as game and
decision theory, logic, computer science and artificial intelligence,
philosophy, cognitive psychology, mathematics and mind sciences.
The previous eight conferences took place at CIRM (Marseille, France) in
January 1994, at ICER (Torino, Italy) in December 1996, December 1998,
July 2000 and July 2002, in Leipzig in July 2004, in Liverpool in July
2006 and in Amsterdam in 2008 (see:
http://www.econ.ucdavis.edu/faculty/bonanno/loft.html)
Among the topics of particular relevance are:
(*) Modal logics for games and protocols: epistemic and deontic logic,
multi-agent logic, temporal logic, dynamic logic, probabilistic and
multivalued logic, logic of belief revision.
(*) Foundations of game and decision theory: epistemic foundations of
solution concepts, information processing and communication in games,
belief formation and revision in games.
(*) Learning and information-processing models: economic aspects of
information processing, learning in game-theoretic contexts, inductive
learning and inductive decision making.
(*) Bounded rationality approaches to game and decision theory.
SUBMISSION INFORMATION:
The three-day conference will give opportunity for paper presentations and
discussions. Potential contributors should submit an extended abstract of
approximately 5 - 10 pages in PDF format through
http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=loft2010 The deadline for
submission is March 15, 2010, and authors will be notified of acceptance
decisions by April 18, 2010.
