Social Choice
(COMSOC-2018)
Troy, NY, USA, June 25--27, 2018

***********************************************************
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 aim of the workshop is 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
- Preference elicitation
- Preference representation languages
- Restricted preference domains
- Voting rules
-- axiomatic properties
-- manipulation, control and bribery
-- voting equilibria and dynamics
- Judgement aggregation
- Fair division and allocation
- Matching and coalition formation
- Opinion diffusion and aggregation on social networks
- Recommendation systems
- Software for collective decision-making
We welcome both theoretical and empirical work on these topics, including,
in particular, research on algorithms (exact, approximate, parameterized,
online and distributed), learning, logic, uncertainty and simulations in
the context of social choice.
Papers will have to be submitted electronically via Easychair. 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 will have to 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).
COMSOC-2018 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.
Please contact either one of the program chairs in case of any questions:
o Edith Elkind (elkind@cs.ox.ac.uk)
o Lirong Xia (xialirong@gmail.com)
