********************************************************************** CALL FOR PAPERS ESSLLI Workshop on Logical Models of Group Decision Making Duesseldorf, 12-16 August 2013 URL: http://www.illc.uva.nl/~ulle/esslli-workshop-2013/ ********************************************************************** In recent years, in both logic and computer science, there has been a growing interest in the formal study of problems originating in economics, as witnessed by the emergence of research trends such as logic and rational interaction or computational social choice. This workshop will provide a forum for the discussion of ongoing research in this exciting field. It will specifically focus on the use of logic (rather than formal methods more generally) to model problems in group decision making (rather than problems in economics more generally). The workshop is part of the programme of the 25th European Summer School in Logic, Language and Information (ESSLLI-2013). ********************************************************************** TOPICS OF INTEREST ********************************************************************** We hope to stimulate research on social choice, mechanism design, the aggregation of preferences, judgments and beliefs, as well as public deliberation amongst logicians. At the same time, we hope to stimulate a closer engagement with different logics amongst researchers in social choice theory and computational social choice. We also hope to highlight the broad range of potential applications for this kind of research, ranging from artificial intelligence and multiagent systems all the way to political science and ethics. Topics of interest include: - logic and social choice theory - logic and mechanism design - logic and games - judgment aggregation - belief merging - logical models of group deliberation - logic-based preference modelling - argumentation and group decision making - formal specification and verification of group decision mechanisms - automated reasoning for collective decision making - social software - applications in artificial intelligence and multiagent systems - applications in political science and ethics ********************************************************************** PAPER SUBMISSION ********************************************************************** Please visit the workshop website for details on the submission procedure. All submissions will be reviewed by the programme committee. We solicit a variety of types of papers: technical papers describing original and unpublished results, position papers outlining a research agenda or highlighting important open problems, and papers reporting on work in progress. ********************************************************************** IMPORTANT DATES ********************************************************************** - Submission deadline: 25 April 2013 - Paper notifications: 4 June 2013 - Final papers due: 21 June 2013 - Workshop: 12-16 August 2013 ********************************************************************** PROGRAMME COMMITTEE ********************************************************************** - Thomas Agotnes (Bergen) - Johan van Benthem (Amsterdam & Stanford) - Fabrizio Cariani (Northwestern) - Cedric Degremont (Toulouse) - Franz Dietrich (Paris & East Anglia) - Daniel Eckert (Graz) - Ulle Endriss (Amsterdam, co-chair) - Davide Grossi (Liverpool) - Jeff Horty (Maryland) - Sebastien Konieczny (Lens) - Eric Pacuit (Tilburg & Maryland, co-chair) - Gabriella Pigozzi (Paris) - Daniele Porello (Trento) - Olivier Roy (Munich) - Mike Wooldridge (Oxford) **********************************************************************
