AIMS AND SCOPE
The International Research Group on Algorithmic Decision Theory in
collaboration with the European working group on preferences is proud to
announce the Fourth International Conference on Algorithmic Decision Theory
(ADT 2015). ADT seeks to bring together researchers and practitioners coming
from diverse areas such as Artificial Intelligence, Database Systems,
Operations Research, Decision Theory, Discrete Mathematics, Game Theory,
Multiagent Systems, Computational Social Choice, and Theoretical Computer
Science in order to improve the theory and practice of modern decision support.
Some of the scientific challenges facing the ADT community include big
preference data, combinatorial structures, partial and/or uncertain
information, distributed decision making, and large user bases. Such challenges
occur in real-world decision making in domains like electronic commerce,
recommender systems, network optimization (communication, transport, energy),
risk assessment and management, and e-government.
LPNMR 2015
The program will include two invited talks:
Steve Brams
Title: Fair Division
Abstract: Interest in fair division has burgeoned over the past 20 years,
although precursors go back to the Bible. The renewal of interest began with
cake-cutting and the division of a heterogeneous divisible good. Conditions
under which properties such as envy-freeness, equitability, and efficiency can
be satisfied will be discussed, along with algorithms for implementing
divisions which satisfy these properties. More recent work on algorithms for
the fair allocation of indivisible items, and tradeoffs among properties that
can be satisfied, will be presented. Applications will be discussed.
Jérôme Lang
Title: Algorithmic Decision Theory Meets Logic
(NOTE: This is a plenary joint talk with LPNMR 2015)
Abstract: Two major roles that logic can play in individual, collective or
strategic decision making are (a) expressing preferences and reasoning about
them, and (b) expressing beliefs in reasoning about them. The talk will cover
both of them. For (a), we will discuss various issues such as preference logics
and their sublanguages, nonmonotonic reasoning about preferences, and
preference representation languages for individual, collective or strategic
decision making. For (b), we will discuss epistemic issues in strategic voting
and fair division, as well as epistemic issues and incomplete preferences in
collective decision making. This will mainly be a position/survey talk.

COMPLIMENTARY MEMBERSHIP OFFER FOR CONFERENCE REGISTRANTS NEW TO AAAI
ADT 2015 is pleased to acknowledge its cooperation with the Association
for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AAAI)
[http://www.aaai.org], which will be publicizing the conference to its
membership. Of special interest to conference attendees is an introductory
membership offer from AAAI, which provides a complimentary 1-year online
membership to conference participants who are new to AAAI. Please send a

VENUE
Lexington is a medium size, pleasant and quiet university town. It is located
in the heart of the Bluegrass Region in Central Kentucky, Horse Capital of the
World! The city is surrounded by beautiful horse farms on green pastures
dotted with ponds and traditional architecture stables, and small race tracks,
and bordered by white or black fences. The Horse Museum is as beautifully
located as it is interesting. Overall, the city has a nice feel with a good mix
of old and new. The conference will be held in the Hilton Lexington Downtown
hotel.
