CALL FOR PAPERS The Third Workshop on Logics for Resource-Bounded Agents (LRBA) (with special emphasis on awareness and limited reasoning) http://www.agents.cs.nott.ac.uk/events/lrba10 To be held as part of Multi-Agent Logics, Languages, and Organisations -- Federated Workshops (MALLOW 2010) in Domaine Valpr, Lyon, France, from the 30th of August to the 3rd of September, 2010 http://mallow2010.emse.fr/ AIMS AND SCOPE Formal models of knowledge and belief, as well as other attitudes such as desire or intention, have been extensively studied. However, most of the treatments of knowledge and belief make strong and idealised assumptions about the reasoners. For example, traditional epistemic logic say that agents know all logical consequences of their knowledge. Similarly, logics of action and strategic interaction are usually based on game theoretic models which assume perfect rationality. Models based on such assumptions can be used to describe ideal agents without bounds on resources such as time, memory, etc, but they fail to accurately describe non-ideal agents which are computationally bounded. The workshop aims to provide a forum for discussing possible solutions to the problem of formally capturing the properties of knowledge, belief, action, etc. of non-idealised resource-bounded agents. We are particularly interested in formal models of agents' limited reasoning and (un)awareness (there will be a publication on this topic following the workshop, see below). TOPICS Topics include, but are not limited to, logical models of: * limited awareness and unawareness * logically non-omniscient agents in general * explicit knowledge and belief * algorithmic knowledge * temporal logics of reasoning * active logics * knowledge and belief of reasoners with bounds on reasoning time, memory, or other resource bounds (e.g. bandwidth, sensing limitations) * other attitudes, such as desire, intention, etc., under bounded resources * paraconsistency * rational choice under bounded resources * games under bounded resources, e.g. bounded recall, incomplete information, limited awareness of the structure of the game IMPORTANT DATES Submission deadline: 21 June 2010 (extended) Notification of acceptance: 5 July 2010 Camera-ready: 2 August 2010 Workshop: 30 August - 3 September 2010 PUBLICATION Accepted papers will appear in informal pre-proceedings published by MALLOW. Following the workshop, authors are invited to submit extended revisions of their papers for publication in a volume in the Synthese Library series, on awareness and limited reasoning, edited by T. Agotnes, N. Alechina, B. Logan, and G. Sillari. SUBMISSION GUIDELINES Authors are invited to submit a full paper. Submissions should not exceed 15 pages in LaTeX 11pt article style. The following formats are accepted: pdf, ps.
