The Judgment Aggregation Computational Perspectives Workshop
http://icr.uni.lu/JAWorkshop/
aims to bring together researchers working at the interface between
judgment aggregation and computer science.
How can a group of agents aggregate their individually assigned
truth-values to a collection of logically related propositions into a
consistent aggregate? This is a social choice problem studied by the
theory of judgment aggregation.
A relatively new problem of social choice, much is unknown about
the theory, methods, implementation and application of judgment
aggregation. In the past decade we witnessed the role of a computer
shifting from the computer being a self contained machine for executing
software, a ``personal computer", to being a ``net-book", a global
communication tool and an access node for disseminating information. As
computers and computing become more distributed, pervasive and invisible,
the need is created for aggregating information from various sources into
a consistent aggregate. Can judgment aggregation fill this need? This is
the topic of the workshop organized by the University of Luxembourg and
the Cost AGGREEMENT TECHNOLOGIES action.
The workshop will take place on 01 February 2012 FROM 9:30 TO 18:30
in Salle Tavenas at the University of Luxembourg. More information and a
map with directions can be found in the venue section.
On the previous day, Marija Slavkovik will defend her Ph.D. thesis
entitled *Judgment Aggregation for Multiagent Systems*. The defense will
take place from 15:00 in Room A02 at the Kirchberg Campus.
