new book: Handbook of Computational Social Choice, Cambridge University Press

Dear colleagues,

We are delighted to announce that the Handbook of Computational Social 
Choice has now been published with Cambridge University Press.

Description: The rapidly growing field of computational social choice, at 
the intersection of computer science and economics, deals with the 
computational aspects of collective decision making. This handbook, 
written by thirty-six prominent members of the computational social choice 
community, covers the field comprehensively. Chapters devoted to each of 
the field's major themes offer detailed introductions. Topics include 
voting theory (such as the computational complexity of winner 
determination and manipulation in elections), fair allocation (such as 
algorithms for dividing divisible and indivisible goods), coalition 
formation (such as matching and hedonic games), and many more. Graduate 
students, researchers, and professionals in computer science, economics, 
mathematics, political science, and philosophy will benefit from this 
accessible and self-contained book.

*A PDF of the book is freely available online.* To open the document, 
please enter the password cam1CSC (strangely enough, this password can be 
disseminated legally, so you are encouraged to shout it from the

Alternatively, the book can be purchased through the Cambridge University 
Press website (http://www.cambridge.org/9781107060432), Amazon, and other 
retailers.

We hope that the book will become a valuable resource for the 
computational social choice community, and the CS-econ community at large.

Best regards, Felix Brandt, Vince Conitzer, Ulle Endriss, Jerome Lang, and 
Ariel Procaccia (the editors)
