OVERVIEW:

Recent decades have seen an explosion of research into formal argumentation
theory within computer science, drawing on roots in philosophy and legal
theory.  The formalisms developed enable reasoning with incomplete and
inconsistent information to reach decisions that are rational according to
various criteria.  However, this work has largely been conducted in
isolation from the established mathematical decision sciences in
microeconomic theory.

The workshop will bring together philosophers, economists, computer
scientists and psychologists to discuss areas of common interests and
possible directions for research.
