Third International Workshop on Computational Social Choice, Düsseldorf, Germany
13 September 2010 - 13 September 2010
Germany
The Third International Workshop on Computational Social Choice (COMSOC-2010) will take place from 13 to 16 September 2010 in Düsseldorf, Germany.
Computational social choice is a new discipline where social choice theory and computer science meet. On the one hand, it is concerned with the application of techniques developed in computer science, such as complexity analysis or algorithm design, to the study of social choice mechanisms, including voting procedures or fair division algorithms. On the other, computational social choice is concerned with importing concepts from social choice theory into computing. For instance, social welfare orderings originally developed to analyse the quality of resource allocations in human society are equally as applicable to problems in multi-agent systems or network design.
The aim of the workshop is to bring together different communities: computer scientists interested in computational issues in social choice, people working in artificial intelligence and multi-agent systems, logicians interested in the logic-based specification and analysis of social procedures, and people coming from the field of social choice theory.
The workshop will be accompanied by a 'LogICCC Tutorial Day' with general introductory talks.For further information, please visit: http://ccc.cs.uni-duesseldorf.de/COMSOC-2010/(opens in new window)
