DGL10: Fourth Workshop in Decisions, Games & Logic
June 9 – June 11, 2009
Paris, France
Formal approaches to rational individual and interactive decision making is a dynamic and interdisciplinary field of research. The workshop series in Decisions, Games & Logic (DGL) started in 2007 aims at fostering interactions between graduate students, post-docs and senior researchers from economics, logic and philosophy. These year’’s workshop will take place at the ENS in Paris and is supported by the Décision, Rationalité et Interaction Group at the Institut d”Histoire et de Philosophie des Sciences et des Techniques (IHPST) and the Ecole des Hautes Etudes Commerciales (HEC Paris).
It will feature:
Three tutorials in Decisions, Games & Logic
Each DGL features three tutorials, one on decision theory, one on game theory and one on logic, given by leading researchers. For DGL10, these will be given by:
Itzhak Gilboa (Tel-Aviv, HEC Paris, Yale)
Martin Meier (Institut für Höhere Studien Vienna, IAE Barcelona)
Philippe Mongin (CNRS, HEC Paris)
Philippe Mongin (CNRS, HEC Paris)
Panel discussion on the theme “The future of the Decision Sciences”
The fourth edition of the DGL has also the pleasure to feature a discussion panel on the “The future of the Decision Sciences” (TBC). Participants include:
Mohammed Abdellaoui (CNRS, HEC Paris)
Richard Bradley (London School of Economics)
Itzhak Gilboa (Tel-Aviv, HEC Paris, Yale) (TBC)
The session will be chaired by Philippe Mongin (CNRS, HEC Paris).
Presentations by young researchers
Each DGL features presentations by young researchers. We invite submissions in the fields of decision theory, game theory, logic and formal philosophy. Preference will be given to conceptual work in these fields and work that combines problems of these fields. For DGL10, there are two types of submissions:
(1) Extended abstracts for presentation session
We invite submissions of extended abstracts (max. 2 pages, A4, 10pt) by young researchers (graduate students and post-docs). All accepted submissions will be allowed 20 minutes for presentation. All presentations will be followed by a short comment and a discussion. To stimulate discussion, presenters of accepted papers may be invited to comment on another paper, if the topics are sufficiently similar. Extended abstracts will be selected by the Programme Committee.
(2) Short abstracts for poster session
We invite submissions of short abstracts (up to 1/2 page) by graduate students. All accepted submissions will be allowed 5 minutes for presentation, and extensive informal discussion time will be scheduled. Abstracts for posters will be selected by the Organizing Committee.
Submission information
For both sessions authors should send an abstract (pdf or postscript format) together with their name, affiliation(s) and current position(s) to dgl [at] rationalite.org by March 30, 2010. We strongly encourage graduate students to submit. Notification of acceptance will be given by May 1, 2010.
