DESCRIPTION:Collective decision-making problems ar
 ise when a set of individual agents need to make a
  choice over a set of common alternatives. A centr
 al problem in the study of these situations is tha
 t of aggregating individual expressions, such as p
 references, judgments and beliefs, into a collecti
 ve view, to obtain a summary of the individual vie
 ws provided. Several frameworks have been develope
 d to study this problem, by both the community of 
 Social Choice Theory and the community of Artifici
 al Intelligence. This workshop aims at bringing to
 gether scholars from diverse research areas to obt
 ain a state-of-the-art survey of current research 
 on frameworks for multi-agent aggregation. The wor
 kshop is co-located with the PhD defense of Umbert
 o Grandi which will take place in the Agnietenkape
 l of the University of Amsterdam on September 25th
  at 10:00 am.   For more information, see http://s

 Collective decision-making problems arise when a s
 et of\n        individual agents need to make a ch
 oice over a set of common\n        alternatives. A
  central problem in the study of these\n        si
 tuations is that of aggregating individual express
 ions, such\n        as preferences, judgments and 
 beliefs, into a collective view,\n        to obtai
 n a summary of the individual views provided. Seve
 ral\n        frameworks have been developed to stu
 dy this problem, by both\n        the community of
  Social Choice Theory and the community of\n      
   Artificial Intelligence. This workshop aims at b
 ringing\n        together scholars from diverse re
 search areas to obtain a\n        state-of-the-art
  survey of current research on frameworks for\n   
      multi-agent aggregation. The workshop is co-l
 ocated with the\n        PhD defense of Umberto Gr
