Extended deadline CFP: 2nd Lund Conference on Games, Interactive Rationality, and Learning

2nd Conference on Games, Interactive Rationality, and Learning (G.I.R.L.13@LUND),
Lund, Department of Philosophy and Cognitive Science,
April 23-26, 2013

New date! Deadline for abstract submissions: January 23, 2013

Aims of the conference
The 2013 Lund Conference on Games, Interactive Rationality, and Learning (G.I.R.L.13@LUND) intends to bring together researchers in philosophy, cognitive science, linguistics, and economics sharing interest in agent-based modeling as a tool to investigate the emergence of rational behavior in groups of less-than-ideally rational agents, through learning, and interaction.

The G.I.R.L.13@LUND conference will focus on the evolution of inference, in the sense of: (i) evolutionary processes driven by natural selection, and: (ii) intra-contextual evolution of interacting agents inferences.

Subject
We welcome submissions of original research, primarily on the following topics:

• Relations between ecological rationality of choice and inference heuristics, and choice-, decision- and game-theoretic axiomatic approaches to rationality;

• Models of signaling games, evolutionary games, or games with bounded agents;

• Learning-theoretic approaches of inquiry, knowledge acquisition and reasoning;

• Single- and multi-agent simulation-based approaches to learning and decision-making.

Submissions on related subjects not listed above are welcome.

Submissions
Submitted abstracts will be peer-rewied and selected on the basis of their quality and relevance to the conference topics.
Please prepare a 200-400 words abstract for blind review, in .pdf format, and submit it electronically at the EasyChair account of the conference: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=girl13lund
A full paper version will be due for inclusion in electronic proceedings made available before the conference (authors will retain copyrights). Please prepare papers (8-10 pages + bibliography), using the EasyChair LaTeX class (.doc is not an acceptable format). The style file can be downloaded here: http://www.easychair.org/publications/easychair.zip.
Depending on the number and quality of submissions, we may consider poster presentations in addition of the plenary talks. Submissions accepted for poster presentations will be included in a separate section of the electronic proceedings (4-6 pages extended abstract).
