15th Multidisciplinary Workshop on Advances in Preference Handling

October 19 or 20, 2024, Santiago de Compostela, Spain
in conjunction with ECAI 2024

TOPICS

The workshop on Advances in Preference Handling addresses all
computational aspects of preference handling. This includes methods
for the elicitation, learning, modeling, representation, aggregation,
and management of preferences and for reasoning about preferences. The
workshop studies the usage of preferences in computational tasks from
decision making, database querying, web search, personalized human-
computer interaction, personalized recommender systems, e-commerce,
multi-agent systems, game theory, social choice, combinatorial
optimization, planning and robotics, automated problem solving,
perception and natural language understanding and other computational
tasks involving choices. The workshop seeks to improve the overall
understanding of and best methodologies for preferences in order to
realize their benefits in the multiplicity of tasks for which they are
used. Another important goal is to provide cross-fertilization between
the numerous sub-fields that work with preferences.

- Preference handling in artificial intelligence
- Preference handling in database systems
- Preference handling in multiagent systems
- Applications of preferences
- Preference elicitation and learning
- Preference representation and modeling
- Properties and semantics of preferences
- Practical preferences

FORMAT

The program will consist of presentations of peer-reviewed papers,
panel discussions about future challenges, and an invited talk.

SUBMISSION

We invite interested researchers to submit papers on any computational
aspect of preference handling. Submissions should be formatted
according to the ECAI formatting instructions and not exceed 7 pages
(plus 1 extra page for references).

The purpose of workshop presentations is to get early feedback on new
ideas and to stimulate discussions between researchers interested in
preference handling. As such, there will be no formal proceedings, but
we may post accepted papers on the workshop website for the benefit of
the workshop participants if the authors agree to this and the paper
has not already been published.

Original submissions: Submissions about unpublished ideas will be
reviewed by a double-blind process and should be anonymous.

Multiple submissions: Authors who are seeking a broader forum for
already published work and who are interested in giving a
presentation to the workshop’s audience may submit their work
non-anonymously while indicating where this work has been
published. We will only accept work which has been published in
the last calendar year (e.g., ECAI 2023, AAAI 2024, and any
conference held after May 2023).

Transferred papers: In addition to regular paper submissions, we
also consider accepting papers rejected from the main
conference. Decisions about acceptance of these transferred
papers will be based on the reviews of the ECAI PC.
