Second Call for Papers: Eighth International Workshop on Computational Social Choice (COMSOC-2020)
Weizmann Institute of Science, Rehovot, Israel, July 26 - 29, 2020 Webpage: https://comsoc2020.net.technion.ac.il **************************************************** MISSION **************************************************** Computational social choice is a rapidly growing discipline 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 workshop aims to bring together different communities: computer scientists interested in computational issues in social choice; people working in artificial intelligence and multiagent 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; and last but not least, researchers coming from social choice theory itself: economists, mathematicians and computer scientists. **************************************************** PAPER SUBMISSION **************************************************** 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 computational issues that arise in the analysis of - Voting and collective decision-making · axiomatic properties · manipulation, control and bribery · voting equilibria and dynamics · liquid democracy · software for collective decision-making - Preference elicitation and representation; restricted preference domains - Opinion diffusion and aggregation on social networks - Judgement aggregation - Fair division and allocation - Matching and coalition formation - Recommendation systems We welcome both theoretical and empirical work on these topics, including (but not limited to) research on algorithms (exact, approximate, parameterized, online and distributed), learning, logic, uncertainty and simulations in the context of social choice. Papers are to be submitted electronically via Easychair. Each paper is limited to 12 pages, not including references and appendix. All submitted papers will be reviewed by the program committee. Accepted papers will be collected in informal workshop notes; however, the workshop has no formal proceedings and the authors retain their copyright. Each accepted paper should be presented by one of the authors, with the constraint that each workshop participant gives at most one talk (exceptions can be made due to unforeseen circumstances). Submission link: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=comsoc2020 **************************************************** APPLICATIONS/INDUSTRY TRACK ****************************************************** (NEW!) COMSOC-2020 welcomes submission of papers reporting on recent applications of computational choice to real world problems, implemented and deployed tools, etc. Submissions will be reviewed by the program committee, using appropriately modified guidelines. More details will follow, in a separate announcement. **************************************************** POSTER SESSION **************************************************** COMSOC-2020 will also include a poster session. Posters will be selected based on abstracts. Unlike regular submissions, they will not be reviewed by the program committee; the intention is to accept all posters that fall within the scope of the workshop subject to space constraints. The details of the poster session will be announced later. ************************************************** PLENARY SPEAKERS ************************************************** o Gabrielle Demange (Paris school of Economics) o Gil Kalai (Hebrew University) o Maya Bar-Hillel (Hebrew University) ************************************************** IMPORTANT DATES ************************************************** o Paper submission deadline: April 1, 2020 o Notification of authors: May 10, 2020 o Workshop dates: July 26-29, 2020 Please contact either of the program chairs in case of any questions: o Reshef Meir (resh...@ie.technion.ac.il) o William Zwicker (zwick...@union.edu)
