\n In the past decade it has become increasingly clear that studying information, first and foremo st, means studying information exchange. This ackn owledgement of the inherently social character of information shows up at many places in modern logi cal theories. More generally, information exchange is a form of interaction where agents act togethe r in strategic ways. This new perspective has led to contacts between logic and game theory, bringin g a new set of disciplines into the scope of logic : viz., economics, and the social sciences.\n
\nNew interfaces are arising, such a s epistemic studies of rational behavior in games. Another interesting development in this area is t he rise of the notion of 'social software', the id ea of using computational techniques for analyzing patterns of social behavior. And finally, interac tion is also crucial to intelligent behavior in th e field of natural language. Here pragmatics, the study of the actual use of language between differ ent agents, has become the primary focus of resear ch. Notions from game theory, in particular evolut ionary games, are being used to-day to answer all kinds of pragmatic issues, for instance, how lingu istic conventions can arise. \n
\n < p>This workshop aims to bring together researchers working on these and related topics in logic, phi losophy, computer science, and related areas in or der to arrive at an integrated perspective on know ledge acquisition, information exchange, and ratio nal action.\n \n \n \n\n For more information, see\n h ttps://www.illc.uva.nl/LORI/\n
\n\n Researchers in these a reas are invited to submit a paper to this worksho p.\n Submission deadline is April 15th, 200 7.\n
