SUMMARY:1st International Workshop on Computationa
 l Social Choice (COMSOC-2006), ILLC, Amsterdam
DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20061206
DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20061208
LOCATION:ILLC, Amsterdam
DESCRIPTION:Computational social choice is a new d
 iscipline emerging at the interface of social choi
 ce theory and computer science. It is concerned wi
 th the application of computational techniques to 
 the study of social choice mechanisms, and with th
 e integration of social choice paradigms into comp
 uting (read more).    The 1st International Worksh
 op on Computational Social Choice (COMSOC-2006) wi
 ll take place on 6-8 December 2006 in Amsterdam. I
 t will be hosted by the Institute for Logic, Langu
 age and Computation (ILLC) at the University of Am
 sterdam. The aim of the workshop is to bring toget
 her different communities: computer scientists int
 erested in computational issues in social choice; 
 people working in artificial intelligence and mult
 iagent systems who are using ideas from social cho
 ice to organise societies of artificial software a
 gents; logicians interested in the logic-based spe
 cification and analysis of social procedures (soci
 al software); and last but not least people coming
  from social choice theory itself.    COMSOC-2006 
 is generously funded by the NWO (Dutch Research Co
 uncil), which will allow us to bring in several pr
 ominent scientists as invited speakers, whilst kee
 ping registration fees very low.    The registrati
 on fee is €60 (€30 for (PhD) students). Please reg
 ister by 16 November 2006. For more information, s
