Call for Papers
June 30 - July 2, 2008
Institute for Logic, Language and Computation
Amsterdam, The Netherlands
Formal approaches to rational individual and interactive decision making is a dynamic and interdisciplinary field of research. The workshop series in Decisions, Games & Logic (DGL) started in 2007 and aims at fostering interactions between graduate students, post-docs and senior researchers from economics, logic and philosophy.
Each DGL has an educational and a scientific exchange component.
The educational part consists of three tutorials: one on decision theory, this year given by James Joyce (Department of Philosophy, the University of Michigan) one on game theory, this year by Oliver Board (Department of Economics, University of Pittsburgh) and one on logic, by Eric Pacuit (Department of Computer Science, Stanford University). These tutorials provide up-to-date overviews of these fields. Exceptionally, this second edition of the DGL has the pleasure to also feature a talk followed by a discussion panel on conditionals.
The scientific exchange part is aimed at graduate students and post-docs to present their current work and to get feedback from fellow graduate students, post-docs and senior researchers.
The workshop will take place at the Institute for Logic, Language and Computation (ILLC) in Amsterdam, from June 30 to July 2 2008.
We invite submissions of extended abstracts (max. 4 pages, A4, 10pt) by young researchers (graduate and post-docs) in the fields of decision theory, game theory and logic. Preference will be given to conceptual work in these fields and work that combines problems of these fields. All accepted submissions will be allowed 30 minutes for presentation, and will be followed by a short comment from a fellow researcher.
There will also be a short presentations session (10 to 15 minutes each, without comments). Submissions for this session (short abstracts, up to 1/2 page) will be selected by the Organizing Committee. Extended abstracts not chosen for the 30 min sessions will also be considered for these shorter presentations.
For both sessions authors should send an abstract (pdf or postscript format) together with their name, affiliation(s) and current position(s) to O.Roy@rug.nl by April 18. We strongly encourage graduate students to submit.
Notification of acceptance will be given by May 16.
