Already in October 2004 and 2006 we organised a joint workshop. We are now planning a more focused workshop on Algorithmic Decision Theory which is also the main research subject of the two laboratories cooperation as well as of the COST Action IC0602 (www.algodec.org). You can see more details about this new workshop as well as about the past workshops at the web page: www.lamsade.dauphine.fr/dimacs. The new workshop aims to: - introduce PhD students to these exciting areas through a number of tutorials; - show the state of the art in these areas and shape future research directions; - bring together social scientists, decision theorists and computer scientists in an interdisciplinary meeting Participation in the workshop is by invitation only. If you are interested please fill in the registration. PhD students interested in attending the tutorials and the workshop are especially welcome (we should be able to sponsor a limited number of PhD students in order to help them attending). They also should fill in the registration. Invitees who wish to present a paper should submit an extended abstract no later than June 1, 2008. All abstracts will be available on this web site. As for the previous workshop that DIMACS and LAMSADE sponsored, we will consider editing a special issue of papers on the workshop's subject. We are also planning to provide all preliminary versions of the full papers for the workshop in the form of a volume of Annals of LAMSADE. For that purpose we need such preliminary versions no later than September 15, 2008. For reasons of organization we would really appreciate it if everybody can confirm their participation by the end of September 2008 . Topics of the workshop include, but are not limited to: computational issues in consensus functions automatic decision making social choice and artificial intelligence fair allocation of resources and fair partitioning robust decision making multi-agents learning preference models in decision making, reasoning and knowledge extraction qualitative decision theory decision under risk and uncertainty (extreme events) applications to recommender systems, semantic web, knowledge extraction, homeland security, logistics etc ... Please do not hesitate to visit the workshop web page (www.lamsade.dauphine.fr/dimacs) or to contact any among the organisers for further inquiries and nformation.
