M-PREF 2024: 2ND CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
======================================================================
15th Multidisciplinary Workshop on Advances in Preference Handling
October 20, 2024, Santiago de Compostela, Spain
in conjunction with ECAI 2024
======================================================================
Invited Speakers: Jörg Rothe (HHU) and Khaled Belahcene (MICS)
======================================================================
We invite interested researchers to participate in the 15th
Multidisciplinary Workshop on Advances in Preference Handling (M-PREF
2024), which is part of the workshop program of ECAI 2024.
Participants need to register for the pre-conference program of ECAI.
The workshop will be held on October 20, 2024 on the North Campus of
the University of Santiago de Compostela.
TOPICS
The workshop on Advances in Preference Handling addresses all
computational aspects of preference handling. This includes methods
for the elicitation, learning, modeling, representation, aggregation,
and management of preferences and for reasoning about preferences. The
workshop studies the usage of preferences in computational tasks from
decision making, database querying, web search, personalized human-
computer interaction, personalized recommender systems, e-commerce,
multi-agent systems, game theory, social choice, combinatorial
optimization, planning and robotics, automated problem solving,
perception and natural language understanding and other computational
tasks involving choices. The workshop seeks to improve the overall
understanding of and best methodologies for preferences in order to
realize their benefits in the multiplicity of tasks for which they are
used. Another important goal is to provide cross-fertilization between
the numerous sub-fields that work with preferences.
- Preference handling in artificial intelligence
- Preference handling in database systems
- Preference handling in multiagent systems
- Applications of preferences
- Preference elicitation and learning
- Preference representation and modeling
- Properties and semantics of preferences
- Practical preferences
