LMGDM 2013 - ESSLLI Workshop on Logical Models of Group Decision Making

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).
**********************************************************************
TOPIC 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
- social software
- applications in artificial intelligence and multiagent systems
- applications in political science and ethics
