CALL FOR PAPERSLCD'07 : Workshop on Logics and Collective Decision
makinghttp://stl.recherche.univ-lille3.fr/colloques/20062007/JElogicandcollectivedecisionmaking6.htmlMarch
13-14, 2007 Erasmus International Institute MSH [EMAIL PROTECTED] We would
like to welcome you to a workshop on the connections between logics and
collective decision making theories that is to take place in Lille on March
13-14, 2007. Group decision-making problems occur every time a collective
choice has to be made from several individuals that have conflicting interests
or preferences. There has been recently a growing interest on the use of logic
as the basic tool for formalizing and computing those problems. This is in
particular true in two close fields of research. The first one lies at the
intersection of game theory and logics, especially by exploring how modal
logics may be used to model and reason about games. A second one, which focuses
on the logical insights into rational collective choice, has recently emerged
around problems of judgment aggregation and beliefs/goals merging, on the one
hand, and logical formalization of welfare distribution processes (social
software), on the other. These two domains propose further formal refinements,
using logical tools, of the classical theories of collective decision-making,
by offering new evaluation criteria of and new ways of building social choice
procedures. The workshop aims at sparking off interaction between social choice
theorists, computer scientists, logicians and philosophers. The workshop will
take place at the University of Lille 3, Villeneuve d'Ascq, France. Invited

The aim of this workshop is to promote interaction between researchers in the
areas of logics and collective decision-making theories.We invite submissions
of abstracts in the interface of the above or related areas that investigate
common problems. A non-exhaustive list of topics of interest include +logics of
collective decision-making and social software+belief merging and judgment
aggregation+social-choice theoretical approaches to logics and to the
philosophy of logics+logics and deliberative democracy+preference
representation and social choice Submission details Authors should send an
abstract (in pdf, postscript or word format) to [EMAIL PROTECTED] by January,
31st. Submissions should typically be 3 pages long (excluding bibliographical
references). There will be no published proceedings, so there is no copyright
problem for presenting works already published. The mail should contain the
authors' name, affiliation(s) and current position(s). We strongly encourage
PhD students to submit, as we might organize a student session. Notification of
acceptance will be given by February, 9th. Important Dates Submission of
