AIMS OF THE CONFERENCE
This is the 13th in a series of bi-annual conferences on the
applications of logical methods to foundational issues in the theory of
individual and interactive decision-making. Preference is given to
papers that bring together the work and problems of several fields,
such as game and decision theory, logic, computer science and
artificial intelligence, philosophy, cognitive psychology, mathematics
and mind sciences.
The previous eleven conferences took place in Marseille (France),
January 1994,
Torino (Italy), December 1996, December 1998, July 2000 and July 2002,
Leipzig (Germany), July 2004, Liverpool (UK), July 2006,
Amsterdam (The Netherlands), July 2008, Toulouse (France), July 2010,
Sevilla (Spain), 2012, Bergen (Norway), 2014 and Maastricht (The
Netherlands) 2016.
Among the topics of particular relevance are:
- Modal logics for games and protocols: epistemic and deontic
logic,
multi-agent logic, temporal logic, dynamic logic, probabilistic and
multivalued logic, logic of belief revision.
- Foundations of game and decision theory: epistemic
foundations of
solution concepts, information processing and communication in games,
belief formation and revision in games.
- Learning and information-processing models: economic
aspects of
information processing, learning in game-theoretic contexts, inductive
learning and inductive decision making.
- Bounded rationality approaches to game and decision theory.
