* logical and computational approaches to social choice

Papers can be submitted on the Easychair site for the conference and should be no longer than 4,000 words (approximately 12 double spaced pages). Submissions may but need not be prepared with LNCS Proceedings Style, although final versions of accepted submissions *must* be prepared with LNCS proceedings style.

Tentative dates

Submission Deadline: June 1, 2011
Notification: June 25, 2011
Final version due: July 15, 2011
Conference: October 10 – 13, 2011

From Mark Phelan: The Experiment Month Initiative  is currently recruiting philosophers and other academics to participate in some of their researchers’ studies. (We’re hoping to give our researchers the opportunity to compare how philosophers and non-philosophers respond to these studies.) The project hosts 17 different experimental philosophy studies designed by 29 philosophers, each working on illuminating a different philosophical question. Accordingly, Choice & Inference readers are invited to help these philosophers out, either by stopping by the Experiment Month website (linked above) to fill out a brief questionnaire or by spreading the word about these new studies.

(The experiment month initiative is run by Yale Cognitive Science with a grant from the American Philosophical Association.)

The Progic conference series is intended to promote interactions  between probability and logic. The fifth installment of the series will be held at Columbia University in New York on September 10th and 11th of 2011. Progic 2011 will also be an occasion to honor Haim Gaifman’s contributions to the intersection of probability and logic. The meeting will consist of 10 talks, 5 invited and 5 contributed. Note that the deadline for submissions has been pushed back to June 1, 2011. Please see the following page for additional details, including the list of invited speakers:
