********************************************************************** CALL FOR PAPERS 5th International Workshop on Strategic Reasoning SR 2017 -- http://sr2017.csc.liv.ac.uk/ Liverpool, UK, July 26-27, 2017 ********************************************************************** Strategic reasoning is one of the most active research areas in the multi-agent system domain. The literature in this field is extensive and provides a plethora of logics for modelling strategic ability. Theoretical results are now being used in many exciting domains, including software tools for information system security, robot teams with sophisticated adaptive strategies, and automatic players capable of beating expert human adversaries, just to cite a few. All these examples share the challenge of developing novel theories and tools for agent-based reasoning that take into account the likely behaviour of adversaries. The international workshop on strategic reasoning aims to bring together researchers working on different aspects of strategic reasoning in computer science, both from a theoretical and a practical point of view. SR 2017 will be co-located with TARK 2017, which will be held in Liverpool on July 24-26, 2017. LIST OF TOPICS The topics covered by the workshop include, but are not limited to, the following: Logics for reasoning about strategic abilities; Logics for multi-agent mechanism design, verification, and synthesis; Logical foundations of decision theory for multi-agent systems; Strategic reasoning in formal verification; Automata theory for strategy synthesis; Strategic reasoning under perfect and imperfect information; Applications and tools for cooperative and adversarial reasoning; Robust planning and optimisation in multi-agent systems; Risk and uncertainty in multi-agent systems; Quantitative aspects in strategic reasonings. SUBMISSION Extended abstracts should be submitted not exceeding 10 pages (plus references) in the EPTCS format. If necessary, the work may be supplemented with a clearly marked appendix, which will be consulted at the discretion of the program committee. Submissions must be in PDF format and will be handled via EasyChair: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=sr2017 Two types of submission are invited: contributions reporting on novel research; expository contributions reporting on published work. Each submission should be clearly identified as belonging to one category or the other. In both categories, strong preference will be given to papers whose topic is of interest to an interdisciplinary audience and all contributions should be written so that they are accessible to such an audience. Novel research abstracts will be held to the usual high standards of research publications. In particular, they should contain enough information to enable the program committee to identify the main contribution of the work, explain the significance of the work, its novelty, its relevance to the strategic reasoning audience, and its practical or theoretical implications, and include comparisons with and references to relevant literature. Expository abstracts, which will be evaluated using similar high standards, may survey an area or report on more specific previously published work. Submissions from PC members are also allowed. Note that, since the workshop will have informal proceedings, extended versions of the accepted papers can also be submitted elsewhere. Important Dates May 8, 2017: Abstract deadline May 15, 2017: Submission deadline June 16, 2017: Acceptance notification June 30, 2017: Camera-ready deadline September 26-27, 2017: workshop PROCEEDINGS The workshop proceedings will be available as a single PDF file from the workshop website. Extended and revised versions of the best papers presented at the SR workshop will be invited to a special issue.
