Computational Social Choice Group

We carry out research in Computational Social Choice, broadly conceived, as well as in Computational Logic, Multiagent Systems, and Artificial Intelligence, and are part of the Logic and Computation Research Programme at the ILLC. The group regularly meets at the Computational Social Choice Seminar.
