About:
1st International Workshop on Computational Social Choice, (COMSOC-2006),
Amsterdam,
December 6-8, 2006.
Computational social choice is a new discipline emerging at the
interface of
social choice theory and computer science. It is concerned with the
application of computational techniques to the study of social choice
mechanisms, and with the integration of social choice paradigms into
computing. The aim of this workshop is to bring together the different
communities that have been addressing such issues: computer scientists
interested in computational issues in social choice; people working in
artificial intelligence and multi-agent systems who are using ideas from
social choice to organize societies of artificial software agents;
logicians
interested in the logic-based specification and analysis of social
procedures (social software); and last but not least people coming from
social choice theory itself.
COMSOC-2006 is generously funded by the NWO (Dutch Research Council),
which
will allow us to bring in several prominent scientists as invited
speakers, whilst keeping registration fees very low.

Invited Speakers:
Steven Brams (New York),
Noam Nisan (Jerusalem),
Francesca Rossi (Padova),
Harrie de Swart (Tilburg).
Further speakers will be announced at a later time.
Paper Submissions:
Submissions of papers describing original or recently published work on
all aspects of computational social choice are invited. Topics of interest
include, but are not limited to:
complexity-theoretic analysis of voting procedures
computational aspects of fair division
cake-cutting algorithms
distributed negotiation in multiagent system
preference representation in combinatorial domains
computational aspects of preference aggregation rules
preference elicitation
social choice and constraint programming
social choice and the web: ranking systems
belief and judgement aggregation
computational aspects of coalition formation
social choice under uncertainty
logics for collective decision making
logic-based verification of social procedures
communication complexity of social choice mechanisms
computational issues in mechanism design
Paper submission will be electronic via the workshop website. Details
regarding the submission procedure and formatting instructions will be
announced at a later time. Accepted papers will be collected in informal
workshop notes, printed copies of which will be available at the
workshop.
