Second Call for Papers: Eighth International Workshop on Computational Social Choice (COMSOC-2020)<br> <br><br>Weizmann Institute of Science, Rehovot, Israel, July 26 - 29, 2020<br><br> <br><br>Webpage: <a href="https://comsoc2020.net.technion.ac.il" target="_blank">https://comsoc2020.net.technion.ac.il</a><br><br> <br><br>****************************************************<br>MISSION<br>****************************************************<br><br> <br><br>Computational
social choice is a rapidly growing discipline at the interface of
social choice theory and computer science. It is concerned with the
application of computational techniques to the study of social choice
mechanisms, and with the integration of social choice paradigms into
computing. The workshop aims to bring together different communities:
computer scientists interested in computational issues in social choice;
people working in artificial intelligence and multiagent systems who
are using ideas from social choice to organize societies of artificial
software agents; logicians interested in the logic-based specification
and analysis of social procedures; and last but not least, researchers
coming from social choice theory itself: economists, mathematicians and
computer scientists.<br><br> <br><br>****************************************************<br> PAPER SUBMISSION<br>****************************************************<br><br> <br><br>Submissions
of papers describing original or recently published work on all aspects
of computational social choice are invited. Topics of interest include,
but are not limited to computational issues that arise in the analysis
of<br><br> <br><br>- Voting and collective decision-making <br><br>· axiomatic properties<br><br>· manipulation, control and bribery<br><br>· voting equilibria and dynamics<br><br>· liquid democracy<br><br>· software for collective decision-making<br><br>- Preference elicitation and representation; restricted preference domains<br><br>- Opinion diffusion and aggregation on social networks <br><br>- Judgement aggregation<br><br>- Fair division and allocation<br><br>- Matching and coalition formation<br><br>- Recommendation systems<br><br> <br><br>We
welcome both theoretical and empirical work on these topics, including
(but not limited to) research on algorithms (exact, approximate,
parameterized, online and distributed), learning, logic, uncertainty and
simulations in the context of social choice.<br><br> <br><br>Papers are
to be submitted electronically via Easychair. Each paper is limited to
12 pages, not including references and appendix. All submitted papers
will be reviewed by the program committee. Accepted papers will be
collected in informal workshop notes; however, the workshop has no
formal proceedings and the authors retain their copyright. Each accepted
paper should be presented by one of the authors, with the constraint
that each workshop participant gives at most one talk (exceptions can be
made due to unforeseen circumstances).<br><br>Submission link: <br><a href="https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=comsoc2020" target="_blank">https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=comsoc2020</a><br><br> <br><br>****************************************************<br>APPLICATIONS/INDUSTRY TRACK<br>******************************************************<br><br> <br><br>(NEW!)
COMSOC-2020 welcomes submission of papers reporting on recent
applications of computational choice to real world problems, implemented
and deployed tools, etc. Submissions will be reviewed by the program
committee, using appropriately modified guidelines. More details will
follow, in a separate announcement.<br><br> <br><br> <br><br>****************************************************<br>POSTER SESSION<br>****************************************************<br><br> <br><br>COMSOC-2020
will also include a poster session. Posters will be selected based on
abstracts. Unlike regular submissions, they will not be reviewed by the
program committee; the intention is to accept all posters that fall
within the scope of the workshop subject to space constraints. The
details of the poster session will be announced later.<br><br> <br><br>**************************************************<br>PLENARY SPEAKERS<br>**************************************************<br><br>o Gabrielle Demange (Paris school of Economics)<br><br>o Gil Kalai (Hebrew University)<br><br>o Maya Bar-Hillel (Hebrew University)<br><br> <br><br>**************************************************<br>IMPORTANT DATES<br>**************************************************<br><br> <br><br>o Paper submission deadline: April 1, 2020<br><br>o Notification of authors: May 10, 2020<br><br>o Workshop dates: July 26-29, 2020<br><br> <br><br>Please contact either of the program chairs in case of any questions:<br><br>o Reshef Meir (<a href="mailto:reshefm@ie.technion.ac.il" target="_blank">reshefm@ie.technion.ac.il</a>)<br>o William Zwicker (<a href="mailto:zwickerw@union.edu" target="_blank">zwickerw@union.edu</a>)
