Dear colleagues,

We are pleased to invite you to a special seminar in the morning of the

"Group activity selection on social networks”

by Edith Elkind, Professor of Computing Science at the University of 
Oxford, UK.

This talk will take place at Elektron, 1st floor, EWI building, Delft 
(http://www.tudelft.nl/building36 ).

Program:

9:30 Welcome with coffee/tea
9:45 Layman talk by Gleb Polevoy (the same as at 12:00 before his defense)
10:00 Talk by Prof. Edith Elkind (Oxford)

Title: Group activity selection on social networks

Abstract: In group activity selection problems, each agent chooses an 
activity
from the set of available activities; agent's preferences over 
activities are
determined by the nature of the activity itself and how many other players
engage in that activity. In this talk, we discuss the complexity of 
finding stable
assignments of activities, both in the standard model and when the set
of possible assignments is restricted by the social network among the 
players.

Based on joint work with Andreas Darmann, Sascha Kurz, Jerome Lang, 
Joachim Schauer, Gerhard Woeginger, Ayumi Igarashi, Dominik Peters and 
Robert Bredereck
