************************************************************************ ***Logics for Games and Strategic Reasoning, and Social Choice*** Special session at CLIMA XV (Computational Logic in Multi-Agent Systems) Prague, Czech Republic, August 18-19, 2014 (colocated with ECAI'14) http://www-sop.inria.fr/members/Serena.Villata/climaXVsessions.html First Call for Papers ************************************************************************ Submission deadline: May 11, 2014 Proceedings: LNCS/LNAI volume (available at the workshop) Post-proceedings: Journal of Logic and Computation ************************************************************************ INTRODUCTION Strategic reasoning occurs in many multi-agent scenarios. This is evident in theoretical approaches to MAS, as well as in practical solutions used, for example, in computer games, IT infrastructures for e-voting procedures, social network services, etc. We invite submissions that address how formal logic can contribute to our understanding, modeling and analysis of strategic behavior. Papers that investigate how the metaphors of game and social interaction can help in constructing and using logical formalisms are also welcome. The list of subjects includes (but is not limited to) the following topics: - Logics for reasoning about games and strategies - Modal logics of strategic ability - Logical foundations of game theory, decision theory, and social choice theory - Logical approaches to rationality and bounded rationality - Solving games and verification of strategies by model checking - Logics for social interaction and social choice - Logics for mechanism design - Game semantics for logics - Games in verification of logical specifications - Logic-based specification and verification of security in social choice procedures. SUBMISSION We encourage submission of high quality, original papers which have not been accepted for publication nor are currently under review for another journal or conference. Submissions should not exceed 16 pages in the Springer LNCS format. Note that, while theoretical papers are welcome, submissions must include at least some illustrating examples. For templates and formatting instructions, see http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html . Papers should be submitted electronically via EasyChair: http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=clima14 . PROCEEDINGS AND POST-PROCEEDINGS LNCS Proceedings: All the accepted papers (including special session papers) will be published by Springer as a volume in Lecture Notes in Computer Science, and will be available in time for the workshop. JLC Special Issue: After the workshop, authors of selected papers will be invited to extend and re-submit their work to a special issue of Journal of Logic and Computation. IMPORTANT DATES Paper submission: May 11, 2014 Author notification: June 9, 2014 Camera-ready deadline: June 16, 2014 Workshop: August 18-19, 2014 ORGANIZATION AND CONTACT The special session is organized by Wojtek Jamroga, University of Luxembourg.
