Computational Social Choice Seminar

This is the programme of the Computational Social Choice Seminar, a series of occasional talks being organised at the Institute for Logic, Language and Computation (ILLC) at the University of Amsterdam. The talks mostly address issues at the interface of computer science (including logic, multiagent systems and artificial intelligence) and mathematical economics (including social choice theory, game theory and decision theory). All welcome!

For more information, please get in touch with Ulle Endriss.
