SUMMARY:Workshop "The wisdom and madness of crowds
 : argumentation, information exchange and social i
 nteraction"
DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Amsterdam:20200330T000000
DTEND;TZID=Europe/Amsterdam:20200401T180000
LOCATION:Online
DESCRIPTION:Argumentation and exchange of informat
 ion help groups to coordinate, deliberate and deci
 de. On the other hand, debates often generate detr
 imental large-scale phenomena such as polarization
 , informational cascades and echo-chambers, where 
 the behavior of entire groups shifts in seemingly 
 irrational ways.  Understanding the deep mechanism
 s of informational and social influence that under
 lie these phenomena in the age of social media is 
 a challenge that engages methods from different di
 sciplines, including philosophy, artificial intell
 igence, computer and social sciences and psycholog
 y.  This workshop brings together scholars with di
 fferent theoretical approaches. Its broader aim is
  to foster an interdisciplinary understanding of t
 he mechanisms that determine the behavior of indiv
 iduals in a social context from multiple perspecti
 ves. The workshop will last two and a half days. T
 he first half-day of it will be dedicated to an in
 troductory seminar on abstract argumentation, held
  by Professor Pietro Baroni (Brescia).  Due to the
  spreading of COVID-19, this workshop will be held
  online as a video-conference-only.  Submissions a
 re invited on the general field of argumentation t
 heory, logic and formal epistemology, including, b
 ut not  restricted to  * Abstract and structured a
 rgumentation  * Dynamic epistemic logics for corre
 lated information change  * Logical aspects of arg
 umentation  * Informal logic  * Bayesian epistemol
 ogy  * Computational approaches to argumentation, 
 social choice and deliberation in multi-agent netw
 orks  All papers must be original and not simultan
 eously submitted to another journal or conference.
