CFP: Logic and the Foundations of Game and Decision Theory (LOFT10)

This is the tenth in a series of bi-annual conferences on the applications of logical methods to foundational issues in the theory of individual and interactive decision-making. 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 logics for games and protocols: epistemic and deontic logic, multi-agent logic, temporal logic, dynamic logic, probabilistic and multivalued 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 give opportunity for paper presentations and discussions. Potential contributors should submit an extended abstract of approximately 5 - 10 pages in PDF format through http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=loft2012 The deadline for submission is March 1, 2012, and authors will be notified of acceptance decisions by April 9, 2012.
