AIMS OF THE CONFERENCE

This is the 13th in a series of bi-annual conferences on the applications 
of logical methods to foundational issues in the theory of individual and 
interactive decision-making. Preference is given to papers which bring 
together the work and problems of several fields, such as game and 
decision theory, logic, computer science and artificial intelligence, 
philosophy, cognitive psychology, mathematics and mind sciences.

The previous eleven conferences took place in Marseille (France), January 
1994, Torino (Italy), December 1996, December 1998, July 2000 and July 
2002, Leipzig (Germany), July 2004, Liverpool (UK), July 2006, Amsterdam 
(The Netherlands), July 2008, Toulouse (France), July 2010, Sevilla 
(Spain), 2012, Bergen (Norway), 2014 and Maastricht (The Netherlands) 
2016.

Among the topics of particular relevance are:

(*) Modal logics for games and protocols: epistemic and deontic logic, 
multi-agent logic, temporal logic, dynamic logic, probabilistic and 
multivalued logic, logic of belief revision.

(*) Foundations of game and decision theory: epistemic foundations of 
solution concepts, information processing and communication in games, 
belief formation and revision in games.

(*) Learning and information-processing models: economic aspects of 
information processing, learning in game-theoretic contexts, inductive 
learning and inductive decision making.

(*) Bounded rationality approaches to game and decision theory.

SUBMISSION INFORMATION: The three-day conference will give opportunity for 
paper presentations and discussions. Potential contributors should submit 
an extended abstract of approximately 5 - 10 pages in PDF format through 
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=loft2018 Note that the 10-page 
limit (excluding references and appendix) is a HARD CONTRAINT: submissions 
exceeding 10 pages will NOT be considered. The deadline for submission is 
March 1, 2018, and authors will be notified of acceptance decisions by 
April 15, 2018. Papers that have appeared in print, or are likely to 
appear in print before the conference, should not be submitted for 
presentation at LOFT. Should such a paper be submitted, it will not be 
included in the program.
