SUMMARY:Games\, Interactive Rationality and Learning (G.I.R.L.'12@Lund)

LOCATION:Lund\, Sweden
DESCRIPTION:<p>Formal philosophy relies increasingly on simulations\, and sometimes on&nbsp\;empirical test\, coming closer to both computer-\, cognitive- and social&nbsp\;sciences. Some examples are learning-theoretic models of inquiry\, network&nbsp\;theory-based approaches in social epistemology\, and game-theoretic&nbsp\;evolutionary approaches of communication. The aim of the G.I.R.L.'12&nbsp\;Conference is to bring together researchers in philosophy\, cognitive science&nbsp\;and artificial intelligence\, to investigate new areas where the game- and&nbsp\;learning-theoretic simulation approaches can lead to fruitful results.<br><br>A central topic is interactive rationality\, or rational behavior that&nbsp\;emerges from interaction. Unlike &ldquo\;rational interaction&rdquo\;&mdash\;its much better&nbsp\;known sister&mdash\;it does not presuppose agents to be rational to begin with.&nbsp\;Examples are given by evolutionary game-theory\, which studies rational&nbsp\;(equilibrium-reaching) behavior emerging from interaction of non-reflective&nbsp\;agents\; or learning-theoretic models of inquiry showing how inquiry can&nbsp\;solve inductive problems\, while substituting truth-tracking efficiency to&nbsp\;reflexive justification.</p>\n<p>We welcome submissions of either already published research\, or original&nbsp\;material\, primarily on the following topics:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Relations between &ldquo\;ecological rationality&rdquo\; of choice and inference&nbsp\;heuristics\, and choice-\, decision- and game-theoretic axiomatic approaches&nbsp\;to rationality\;</li>\n<li>Models of signaling games\, evolutionary games\, or games with bounded agents\;</li>\n<li>Learning-theoretic approaches of inquiry\, knowledge acquisition and reasoning\;</li>\n<li>Simulation-based approaches of group learning and decision-making in networks.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Submissions on related subjects not listed above are welcome. If the number&nbsp\;of original contributions is sufficient\, we will consider the publication of&nbsp\;a proceedings volume.<br><br><strong>Submissions &ndash\; Abstracts</strong><br>Original submission: abstracts of 200-500 words\, plus bibliography.&nbsp\;Published research: abstract of the published version\, plus bibliography.&nbsp\;Submissions should be sent electronically in word or pdf format to:&nbsp\;justine[dot]jacot[at]fil[dot]lu[dot]se\, with ''G.I.R.L.'12@Lund_Submission''&nbsp\;in the subject line of the mail\, and whether your submission is intended for&nbsp\;the graduate session.<br>Deadline for submissions:&nbsp\;February\, 15\, 2012.<br><br><strong>Calendar/Important dates:</strong><br>February\, 15: Abstract submission deadline<br>March\, 1: Authors notification<br>April\, 19-20: Conference<br>April\, 21: Undergraduate/Graduate Session</p>
