IDAS 2014 - Information Dynamics in Artificial Societies Workshop 2014

This workshop aims at discussing formal theories and logics of information dynamics, including formal theories and logics of belief and preference change, learning theory, social choice theory and judgement aggregation. Its scope includes not only the technical aspects of logics, but also multidisciplinary aspects from social sciences (economics, social psychology and sociology), social epistemology and linguistics. By focusing on the foundational issues of information dynamics, the workshop will provide a better understanding of key issues such as: are the belief change techniques relevant for modelling cognitive state dynamics? What is the role of communication in trust's breakdown and repair? How information propagates in a social network or in a multi-agent system? Are existing formal theories of belief change and existing formal theories of learning relevant for modelling the dynamics of conventions?
Scope
Topics of interest include:
Belief change
