ADT 2017 -- the 5th International Conference on Algorithmic Decision Theory, Luxembourg, 25--27 Octo

Call for Papers: ADT 2017 

The International Research Group on Algorithmic Decision Theory
(CNRS/GDRI ALGODEC) in collaboration with the EURO working group on
preference handling and the Computer Science and Communications
Research Unit (CSC) of the University of Luxembourg is proud to
announce

            ADT 2017, the 5th International Conference on
                     Algorithmic Decision Theory        
                   Luxembourg, 25--27 October 2017       
                      http://sma.uni.lu/adt2017

The ADT 2017 conference seeks to bring together researchers and
practitioners coming from diverse areas such as Artificial
Intelligence, Database Systems, Operations Research, Discrete
Mathematics, Theoretical Computer Science, Decision Theory, Game
Theory, Multiagent Systems, Computational Social Choice, Argumentation
Theory, and Multiple Criteria Decision Aiding in order to improve the
theory and practice of modern decision support. Some of the scientific
challenges facing the Algorithmic Decision Theory (ADT) community
include big preference data, combinatorial structures, partial and/or
uncertain information, distributed decision making, and large user
bases. Such challenges occur in real-world decision making in domains
like electronic commerce, recommender systems, argumentation tools,
network optimization (communication, transport, energy), risk
assessment and management, and e-government.

ADT 2017 provides a multi-disciplinary forum for sharing knowledge in
this area with a special focus on algorithmic issues in Decision
Theory. The first four International Conferences on Algorithmic
Decision Theory (ADT 2009 Venice, ADT 2011 Rutgers (DIMACS), ADT 2013
Brussels, ADT 2015 Lexington (Kentucky US)) brought together
researchers and practitioners from diverse areas of computer science,
economics, and operations research from around the globe.

Submission (according to one of the following two types):

1.  Submissions for proceedings: Submissions are invited on
    significant, original, and previously unpublished research on all
    aspects of Algorithmic Decision Theory. Papers must be at most 15
    pages long in the LNCS format (including references). The formal
    proceedings of ADT 2017 will be published by Springer Verlag in the
    Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence (LNAI) series:
    http://www.springer.com/lncs
    Papers of this type will be accepted for either oral or poster
    presentation, or both. However, no distinction will be made
    between accepted papers in the conference proceedings.
    
2.  Submissions without proceedings: Submissions are invited on
    significant recent results on Algorithmic Decision Theory. Papers
    must be at most 15 pages long (including references). They will not
    appear in the proceedings and can be submitted elsewhere. Selected
    papers in this category will be accepted for either oral or poster
    presentation, or both. Authors are required to write "submission
    without proceedings" into the author field of their paper (instead
    of author names) if they choose this category; otherwise, it will
    be assumed by default that their paper is submitted in the first
    category (submissions for proceedings).

For both types of submission, please use Springer's guidelines and
technical instructions for the preparation of contributions that can
be downloaded from:
http://www.springer.com/de/it-informatik/lncs/conference-proceedings-guidelines
and note that at least one author of each accepted paper is required
to attend the conference to present the work. Authors will be required
to agree to this requirement at the time of submission.

All papers will be peer-reviewed by a double-blind procedure. Therefore,
papers must be submitted *anonymously* as pdf via the EasyChair system:
