<br>
Third International Conference on ALGORITHMIC DECISION THEORY<br>

==============================================================<br>
<br>
The International Research Group on Algorithmic Decision Theory in<br>
collaboration with the European working group on preferences is proud to<br>
announce the Third International Conference on Algorithmic Decision<br>
Theory (ADT 2013). ADT seeks to bring together researchers and<br>
practitioners coming from diverse areas such as Artificial Intelligence,<br>
Database Systems, Operations Research, Decision Theory, Discrete<br>
Mathematics, Game Theory, Multiagent systems, Computational Social<br>
Choice, and Theoretical Computer Science in order to improve the theory<br>
and practice of modern decision support and automation systems. The<br>
contemporary theory and practice of decision theory and decision<br>
analysis must account for the presence of massive databases containing<br>
data extracted from the web or via data mining, combinatorial<br>
structures, partial and/or uncertain information, and distributed,<br>
possibly interoperating decision makers, and the existence of masses of<br>
potential users on the web. Such problems arise in various real-world<br>
decision making problems such as electronic commerce, and recommender<br>
systems, network optimization (communication, transport, energy), risk<br>
assessment and management, e-government.<br>
ADT provides a multi-disciplinary forum for sharing knowledge in this<br>
area with a special focus on algorithmic issues in Decision Theory. The<br>
two first International Conference on Algorithmic Decision Theory (ADT<br>
2009, 2011) brought together researchers and practitioners from diverse<br>
areas of computer science, economics, and operations research from<br>
around the globe, with proceedings published in LNAI 5783 and LNAI 6992.<br>
ADT 2013 seeks to continue this tradition and invites technical research<br>
papers on the following areas:<br>
<br>
- Algorithmic Challenges to Modern Decision Support and Automation<br>
- Uncertainty and Robustness in Decision Making<br>
- Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis and optimization<br>
- Collective Decision Making<br>
- Preferences in Reasoning and Decision Making<br>
- Decision Theoretic Artificial Intelligence<br>
- Learning and Knowledge Extraction for Decision Support<br>
<br>
More specifically contributions to the conference are sought in the<br>
following topics: Preference Modeling and Aggregation; Multiobjective<br>
optimization; Planning and Sequential Decision Making under uncertainty;<br>
Robustness in Decision Making; Computational Social Choice; Compact<br>
Representation of Preferences; Preference Elicitation, Queries in Data<br>
Bases; Universal Languages for Preferences; Efficient Algorithms for<br>
Decision Making and Support; Multi-Agent Systems; Algorithmic Game<br>
Theory ; Communication Complexity; Argumentation and Explanation in<br>
Decision Support; Preferences and Policies Learning; Knowledge<br>
Extraction; Algorithm Tuning; Recommender Systems; Decision Support<br>
Systems.<br>
<br>
The ADT 2013 Program Committee invites submissions of technical research<br>
papers that will be reviewed based on the standard criteria of clarity,<br>
relevance, significance, originality, and soundness. These papers are<br>
expected to convey substantial technical contributions to the field, or<br>
to describe case studies and deployed applications, all placed in the<br>
context of existing work.<br>
<br>
Important dates:<br>
-----------------<br>Title and abstract submission: May 10, 2013; (new date)<br>
Paper submission: May 19, 2013 (new date)<br>
Notification: around June 7, 2013 (will be extended accordingly to the new submission deadline)<br>Final version June 28, 2013;<br>
ADT'13: November 13-15, 2013;<br>
<br>
Submission Details:<br>
-------------------<br>
Two types of submission are proposed:<br>
<br>
- Submission for proceedings: Submissions are invited on significant,<br>
original, and previously unpublished research on all aspects of<br>
Algorithmic Decision Theory. Papers must be at most 12 pages long in the<br>
LNCS format. The proceedings of ADT 2013 will be published by Springer<br>
Verlag in the Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence series. Papers<br>
will be accepted for either oral or poster presentation, or both.<br>
However, no distinction will be made between accepted papers in the<br>
conference proceedings.<br>
<br>
- Submission without proceedings: Submission are invited on significant<br>
recent results on Algorithmic Decision Theory. Papers must be at most 12<br>
pages long. They will not appear in the proceedings and can be submitted<br>
elsewhere. Selected papers in this category will be accepted for either<br>
oral or poster presentation, or both. In any case, at least one author<br>
of each accepted paper is required to attend the conference to present<br>
the work. Authors will be required to agree to this requirement at the<br>
time of submission. Papers must be submitted via the Easychair system<br>
(see the conference web page for details).<br>
