5-9 August 2007, Workshop Logic, Rationality and Interaction

Date: 5-9 August 2007
Deadline: 15 April 2007

In the past decade it has become increasingly clear that studying information, first and foremost, means studying information exchange. This acknowledgement of the inherently social character of information shows up at many places in modern logical theories. More generally, information exchange is a form of interaction where agents act together in strategic ways. This new perspective has led to contacts between logic and game theory, bringing a new set of disciplines into the scope of logic: viz., economics, and the social sciences.

New interfaces are arising, such as epistemic studies of rational behavior in games. Another interesting development in this area is the rise of the notion of 'social software', the idea of using computational techniques for analyzing patterns of social behavior. And finally, interaction is also crucial to intelligent behavior in the field of natural language. Here pragmatics, the study of the actual use of language between different agents, has become the primary focus of research. Notions from game theory, in particular evolutionary games, are being used to-day to answer all kinds of pragmatic issues, for instance, how linguistic conventions can arise.

This workshop aims to bring together researchers working on these and related topics in logic, philosophy, computer science, and related areas in order to arrive at an integrated perspective on knowledge acquisition, information exchange, and rational action.

31 August 2007, Annual Boat Trip

Date & Time: Friday 31 August 2007, 16:15
Location: Plantage Muidergracht 24, downstairs in the hall

We are happy to announce that the ILLC will (as usual) welcome its new Master students by having a boat trip in which you can see the city from another point of view, followed by an informal reception where there will be something to eat and to drink. This gathering will be a nice opportunity to meet with ILLC staff members and students.

The boat leaves at 16.30 hrs from the back of the Euclides building (Plantage Muidergracht 24), we request to gather at the front desk at 16.15 from where we will walk to the landing place of the boat. The boat will return at 18.00. Reception is from 18.00 - 19.30 at the ILLC, third floor of Euclides, Pl. Muidergracht 24

For more information, please contact
