                             CALL FOR PAPERS

                Workshop on Logic and Intelligent Interaction

                        Hamburg, August 11 - 15, 2008

                   URL: http://ai.stanford.edu/~epacuit/LaII

Organized as part of the European Summer School on Logic, Language and 
Information ESSLLI 2008 (http://www.illc.uva.nl/ESSLLI2008/)

*************************************************************************** 
Workshop Purpose 
***************************************************************************

There is a fast-growing interest in logics that deal with intelligent 
interaction in communities of agents. There is also a fast-growing jungle of 
formal systems. The workshop is dedicated to promising recent convergences, 
trying to foster a common sense of what is going on. The sessions will 
address five core themes in rational agency:

 1. Dynamic and temporal logic of rational agency: Connections between 
    temporal frameworks (interpreted systems, epistemic temporal logic) and 
    dynamic epistemic logics

 2. Merging belief revision and information update: Connections between 
    AGM-style belief revision theory, dynamics logics of information and
    learning theory. 

 3. Dynamics logics of preference change and aggregation: Connections between 
    preference logic, dynamic deontic logic and multi-agent preference merge.

 4. Logics of games and strategies: Connections between modal approaches to 
    games and strategies, and proof/category-theoretic approaches

 5. Logics of collective attitudes and social action: Connections between 
    dynamic logics, judgement aggregation, and social choice, around themes 
    such as collective agency and deliberation.

This workshop follow follow up many themes discussed in the Dynamics in Logic 
Workshop organized by Thomas Agotnes and Hans van Ditmarsch during Week 1 
of ESSLLI.  The workshop aims to provide a forum for researchers (including 
advanced  PhD students) to present and discuss their work with colleagues 
and researchers who work in the broad subject areas represented at ESSLLI.
