2020/22 Call for Papers

Fourteenth Conference on Logic and the Foundations of Game and Decision Theory

University of Groningen, The Netherlands, July 20-22, 2022

Web page: http://loft2020.ai.rug.nl/

AIMS OF THE CONFERENCE This is the 14th in a series of bi-annual conferences on the applications of logical methods to foundational issues in the theory of individual and interactive decision-making. Preference is given to papers which bring together the work and problems of several fields, such as game and decision theory, logic, computer science and artificial intelligence, philosophy, cognitive psychology, mathematics and mind sciences.

The previous thirteen conferences took place in Marseille (France) 1994, Torino (Italy) 1996, 1998 2000 and 2002, Leipzig (Germany) 2004, Liverpool (UK) 2006, Amsterdam (The Netherlands) 2008, Toulouse (France) 2010, Sevilla (Spain) 2012, Bergen (Norway) 2014, Maastricht (The Netherlands) 2016, Milano (Italy) 2018.

The 2020 edition was postponed due to the pandemic. The 2022 edition will ideally take place as a live event, or as an online or hybrid one if the circumstances so demand.

Among the topics of particular relevance are:

  • Modal logics for games and protocols: epistemic and deontic logic,multi-agent logic, temporal logic, dynamic logic, probabilistic and multivalued logic, logic of belief revision.

  • Foundations of game and decision theory: epistemic foundations of solution concepts, information processing and communication in games, belief formation and revision in games.

  • Learning and information-processing models: economic aspects of information processing, learning in game-theoretic contexts, inductive learning and inductive decision making.

  • Bounded rationality approaches to game and decision theory.

SUBMISSION INFORMATION The three-day conference will give opportunity for paper presentations and discussions. Potential contributors should submit an extended abstract of approximately 5 to at most 10 pages in PDF format through

https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=loft-14

Note that the 10-page limit (excluding references and appendix) is a HARD CONSTRAINT: submissions exceeding 10 pages will NOT be considered. The deadline for submission is March 1, 2022, and authors will be notified of acceptance decisions by April 15 April 22, 2022. Papers that have appeared in print, or are likely to appear in print before the conference, should not be submitted for presentation at LOFT. Should such a paper be submitted, it will not be included in the program.
