AIMS OF THE CONFERENCE
This is the fifth in a series of conferences on the applications of logical
methods to foundational issues in the theory of individual and interactive
decision-making. The previous four conferences took place at CIRM (Marseille,
France) in January 1994 and at ICER (Torino, Italy) in December 1996, December
1998 and July 2000. The complete programs of the last three LOFT conferences
are available at:
http://www.econ.ucdavis.edu/faculty/bonanno/LOFT.html.
The aim
of the LOFT conferences is to promote exchange across different disciplines.
Preference is given to papers which bring together the work and problems
of several fields, such as game and decision theory, logic, computer science
and artificial intelligence, philosophy, cognitive psychology, mathematics
and mind sciences. Among the topics of particular relevance are:
- Modal logic: epistemic and deontic logic, multi-agent logic, temporal logic, dynamic logic, probabilistic and multi-valued logic, logic of belief revision.
- Foundations of game and decision theory: epistemic foundations of solution concepts, information processing and communication in games, belief formation and revision in games.
- Learning and information-processing models: economic aspects of information processing, learning in game-theoretic contexts, inductive learning and inductive decision making.
- Bounded rationality approaches to game and decision theory.
SUBMISSION INFORMATION
The three-day conference will include 11 invited lectures and 11 contributed
papers. Potential contributors should send an extended
abstract of approximately 3 pages in electronic format (pdf, dvi, MS Word
or text), indicating "LOFT5 submission" in the Subject field, to:
icer@icer.it
The deadline for submission is February
15, 2002, and authors will be notified of acceptance
decisions by March 31, 2002.
People presenting contributed papers will have their local expenses (accommodation
and meals) covered by ICER, while they are expected to rely on other sources
for travel expenses.
Those who wish to participate in the conference without submitting a paper
should express their interest to ICER (icer@icer.it).
Selected papers from the previous LOFT conferences were published in a volume by Kluwer Academic Press and in the following journals: Theory and Decision, Mathematical Social Sciences, Games and Economic Behavior and Bulletin of Economic Research. It is the intention of the organizers to publish a selection of the papers presented at LOFT5 in a suitable platform.
