DESCRIPTION:The workshop will bring together the s
 cholars who are either involved in the joint proje
 ct “The Logical Dynamics of Information Exchange i
 n Social Networks” (funded by the KNAW), or whose 
 research is closely related to it. We aim to creat
 e a platform for researchers to exchange ideas and
  strengthen further collaboration.  With the KNAW 
 project, the main research problem we want to inve
 stigate is the understanding of information flow a
 nd group belief dynamics in social networks. We in
 tend to: (1) develop formal models and logics for 
 the study of social-informational dynamics, (2) de
 velop appropriate software for the computational a
 nalysis of this dynamics, (3) extract practical le
 ssons about the opportunities and dangers posed by
  social networks, and (4) use these results as a s
 ource of philosophical reflection on the nature of
  social knowledge and the epistemological signific
 ance of corporate agents. The proposed methodology
  is to use extensions of Dynamic Epistemic Logic, 
 in combination with probabilistic methods.  For mo
 re information, see http://tsinghualogic.net/JRC/?
