Cost IC0602 International Doctoral School
Algorithmic Decision Theory: Computational Social Choice
Session 2010 : April 9-14, 2010, Estoril, Lisbon, Portugal
Organizing and scientific committee: José Rui Figueira (CEG-IST,
Instituto Superior Técnico, Lisbon, Portugal), António Carvalho
Fernandes (CEG-IST, Instituto Superior Técnico, Lisbon, Portugal),
Alexis Tsoukiàs (CNRS-LAMSADE, Paris, France), Jerôme Lang
(CNRS-LAMSADE, Paris, France), Carlos Henggeler-Antunes (INESC-Coimbra).
This programme is an activity of the COST Action IC0602 “Algorithmic
Decision Theory” (www.algodec.org). It is also supported by the Centre
for Management Studies (CEG-IST) at Instituto Superior Técnico (IST)
and Tagus Park Campus of IST. It is the fourth doctoral school
organised by the COST Action IC0602 (the first took place in Han sur
Lesse, Belgium, in September 2007, the second one in Troina, Sicily,
Italy, April 2008, the third one at Cork, Ireland, April 2009; see
more in www.algodec.org).
Goals:
• Promote recent research results obtained in the field of
Computational Social Choice and Algorithmic Decision Theory
• Develop contacts and collaboration among young researchers in this field.
Target participants: doctoral students engaged in decision theory or
decision support, understood in a broad sense (i.e. computational
social choice theory, multiple criteria decision analysis including
multi-objective optimization, decision under risk and uncertainty,
algorithmic decision theory, welfare economics, etc.)
Organisation: during their stay, up to 30 selected doctoral students
will receive intensive training in three selected topics dispensed by
three well-known scholars in the field of computational social choice;
the participants will be given an opportunity to present their own
work and receive a feedback. Additional senior researchers will stay
for one or two days and give a talk. All presentations and discussions
will be in English.
Practical issues: the participants will be accomodated at the Eden
Hotel located in Estoril
(http://www.portugalvirtual.pt/_lodging/costadelisboa/estoril/estoril.eden/index.html),
a small city around 25 kilometres far from Lisbon. The working sessions will
take place in the hotel, as well as the meals. From the airport, the hotel
can be reached by bus-subway-train, bus-train, or taxi (more information
will be provided in the site of the
hotel).
Sketch of the programme: a typical day will consist of two lectures of
two hours. Confirmed talks by:
• Christian Klamer (Institute of Public Economics at Graz University).

• Ulle Endriss (ILLC, University of Amsterdam). Url:

• Jerôme Lang (CNRS-LAMSADE, Paris). URL:

About three hours will be devoted to presentation and discussion of
their research by the participants. Five senior researchers will visit
the School and deliver short lectures.
Fee: The School is supported by the COST Action IC0602 “Algorithmic
Decision Theory”. Other sponsors are CEG-IST and IST-Taguspark. The
fee for students is 225 € for the entire stay (full pension). Travel
expenses are not covered by the organizers.
Application: doctoral students, especially those in early stages of
their research, are invited to apply for participation to the School
by sending a short CV that mention their background and their research
interests and/or achievements. Applications must be sent by the end of
January, 2010 to José Rui Figueira ([log in to unmask]).The scientific
committee
will select the participants on the basis of their research interests
and records. Priority will be given to students from countries
involved in the COST Action. Students who already participated to the
previous schools can apply again although priority will be given to
new applications. Applicants will be informed of the decision of the
committee by February 20, 2010.
