Scope
=====
The Workshop on Theoretical Aspects of Fairness (WTAF) be held in Patras,
Greece on Monday, 8 July 2019 in conjunction with the 46th International
Colloquium on Automata, Languages and Programming (ICALP 2019). Its aim is
at making the Theoretical Computer Science audience more familiar with
several important problems related to fairness, such as cake-cutting,
resource allocation, market environments and auctions, or algorithmic
fairness in machine learning. Most of these problems exhibit a strong
algorithmic aspect but somewhat strangely, the bulk of the research on
those topics has been outside the main TCS venues. The aim of the workshop
will be to identify and highlight the most important open problems related
to fairness and make them easily accessible to researchers in TCS,
especially those who are less familiar with this "tangent" line of research
in these other venues.
Paper submission
==============
We welcome submissions with strong theoretical and experimental results
that have been published during the last 2-3 years as well as unpublished
or on-going works, related to the following non-exhaustive list of topics:
-- Algorithmic fairness
-- Cake cutting
-- Fair allocation of indivisible goods/chores
-- Matching and matching markets
-- Market equilibria
-- Participatory budgeting
-- Strategic issues in fair division problems
The workshop's proceedings will be non-archival, and the authors of
accepted papers are free to publish their results in archival conferences
and journals. However, the accepted papers will be linked so that they are
accessible from the Workshop's participants.
The authors are encouraged to format their paper following the LIPIcs
template, or as a single-column article, leaving at least 1 inch margins
all around. There is no page limit, but submissions should contain within
the first ten pages a clear presentation of the merits of the paper,
including a discussion of its importance within the context of prior work
and a description of the key technical and conceptual ideas used to achieve
the main results. To enhance the reviewing process, authors are encouraged
to use double spacing and line numbering.
The submission server is now open! The authors are requested to submit
their papers through Easychair, see
