*CFP: EXPLORE 2017 @ AAMAS 2017: The 4th Workshop on ExploringBeyond the
Worst Case in Computational Social Choice*
To be held at the 16th Conference for Autonomous Agents and Multi-Agent
Systems, AAMAS 2017.
May 8th or 9th, 2017
São Paulo, Brazil
http://www.explore-2017.preflib.org/
Computational Social Choice (ComSoc) lies at the intersection of computer
science, economics, social choice, and political science. Many, often
disjoint, groups of researchers both outside and within computer science
study group decision making and preference aggregation. The computer
science view of social choice focuses, broadly, on computational aspects of
social choice and importing ideas from social choice into computer science.
While the surge of research in this area has created dramatic benefits in
the areas of market matchings, recommendation systems, and preference
aggregation, much of the ComSoc community is focused on worst case
assumptions.
As ComSoc evolves there is a growing need to relax or revise some of the
more common assumptions in the field: worst case complexity, complete
information, and overly-restricted domains, among others. This means going
beyond traditional algorithmic and complexity results and providing a more
nuanced look, using real data, parameterized algorithms, and human and
agent experimentation to provide a fresh and impactful view of group
decision making. This goes hand in hand with highlighting the practical
applications of much of the theoretical research — as much of the most
impactful work in ComSoc does. It also involves looking at more complex
preference aggregation settings that help model real world requirements.
We encourage research related to:
* Algorithms and analysis
* Empirical Studies
* Average case analysis
* Identification of tractable sub-cases
* Fixed parameter complexity analysis
* Benchmarking and analysis from the preference handling and recommendation
systems
* Matchings under preferences
* Auction and market design in the real world
* Crowd-sourcing and other real-world data aggregation domains
* Ethical decision making (with applicative bent)
Many of these tools, techniques, and studies are concentrated in a
particular sub-field and researchers in other areas of ComSoc and related
communities may be keen to import some of the tools and techniques
developed in other areas.
The workshop is currently scheduled for a full day. We plan for the
program to include an invited talk from a local researcher and possibly a
short tutorial.

CP2017: Call for Workshops
--------------------------
The CP conference is the premier annual international conference on constraint
programming. It is concerned with all aspects of computing with constraints,
including but not limited to algorithms, environments, languages, models,
systems, theory, and applications such as decision making, resource allocation,
configuration, planning, and scheduling.
We invite proposals for workshops associated to the main conference program of
CP 2017, which will be held in Melbourne (Australia) from August 28 to
September 1, 2017, colocated with SAT 2017 (http://sat2017.github.io) and ICLP
2017 (http://iclp2017.a4lp.org), and following IJCAI 2017
(http://ijcai-17.org).
The purpose of the CP workshops is to provide an informal venue in which
participants can:
- explore specific research areas in depth,
- discuss new research directions,
- study specific application areas of CP, or
- bring together researchers from different fields with shared interests.
In previous years, workshop topics included data analytics, smart cities,
packing & placement, cloud computing, configuration, teaching, testing &
verification, bioinformatics, constraint-based modelling, CP solvers,
cross-fertilisation with other solving technologies, etc. We encourage
proposals for workshops on new topics, especially multi-disciplinary ones.
Based on successful experiments made in the last three years, we particularly
encourage workshops that break away from the tradition of reviewing
("publishing") and presenting submitted papers: instead, the better attended
workshops tended to foster much more interaction by having several invited
talks, if not introductory or specialist tutorials, and/or presentations
selected only on the basis of brief submitted abstracts. We encourage any other
innovations that are likely to increase the audience and interaction.
All workshops will take place at the site of the main conference, and follow
either a half-day format or a full-day format.
Incubator Workshop
------------------
The Association for Constraint Programming (ACP) will provide a sponsorship for
an Incubator Workshop. An Incubator Workshop should address a promising novel
topic, be multi-disciplinary in nature, and have the aim to broaden the
application of CP or deepen its methodologies. The ACP will make 1,500 euros
available for this purpose.
The call for Incubator Workshop will be issued by the ACP. Workshop organizers
who want to apply as an Incubator Workshop should check the ACP specific call
and follow its guidelines, and also submit their Workshop as described below.
Important Dates (for proposers of Workshop)
-------------------------------------------
- March 27, Workshop proposal submission deadline
- April 10, Workshop acceptance notification
- May 13, Workshop webpage available on CP website
- May 13, First call for papers (or abstracts, participation...)
- July 2017, Early registration deadline (accepted speakers must have received
notifications)
- August 28, CP 2017 Workshops
The exact schedule for workshops will be confirmed in due time.
Proposal Format
---------------
Each workshop proposal should include the following information, in a single
PDF file or in plain text
- Title
- Abstract outlining the goals and scope of the workshop
- Description of the target audience
- Motivation for running the workshop at CP 2017
- If the workshop also applies as Incubator workshop, motivation for this
- Estimate of the number/list of (invited) speakers, tutors, and participants
- History of the workshop (if applicable), with the number of applications and
the number of attendees (if available)
- Tentative duration of the workshop: half day or full day
- Relevant chairing experience of the main organizers (if any)
- Organizing committee members (if already known)
- Contact information of the main organizers
The Workshop Chair will acknowledge receipt of the proposal.
Responsibilities of the Workshop Organizers
-------------------------------------------
1. Creating several calls for abstracts (or papers) and calls for
participation, and distributing them on specialist channels not used by the
Publicity Chair of CP 2017.
2. The call for abstracts (or papers), if any, must clearly describe the review
& selection process and indicate that at least one author of every accepted
abstract (or paper) must attend the workshop and pay the workshop fee;
otherwise the presentation (and paper) will be withdrawn from the
proceedings, if any, and program.
3. Creating and publishing, in a timely manner, a webpage at the CP 2017
website, including all the relevant calls and information pertaining to the
workshop.
4. Providing a short description for the conference program.
5. Reviewing and selecting abstract (or paper) submissions.
6. Scheduling the presentations within the workshop.
It should be noted that the conference organization does not budget for free
registration, accommodation, or travel expenses for the workshop organizers or
their invited speakers. The workshop organizers should therefore secure any
source of funding or sponsorship deemed necessary for their invited speakers
(if any).
Responsibilities of the CP 2017 Organizing Committee
----------------------------------------------------
- Provide publicity for the workshop program as a whole.
- Provide logistics at the conference venue (meeting room, catering, etc.).
- Coordinate the allocation of time blocks for each workshop.
- Collect the workshop fees covering the rental and catering costs.
- Publicize the workshop calls with the help of the Publicity Chair.
Submission Process
------------------
Please send your proposal of Workshop by email to the CP 2017 Workshop Chair
(Charlotte Truchet, Charlotte.Truchet@univ-nantes.fr).
