                Multidisciplinary Workshop on

               ADVANCES IN PREFERENCE HANDLING
  
    (http://wikix.ilog.fr/wiki/bin/view/Preference05/WebHome)

                       held at IJCAI-05
                  July 30 to August 1, 2005
                     Edinburgh, Scotland


TOPICS OF INTEREST

The scope of the workshop is intentionally broad and addresses all aspects of
understanding, modelling, computational handling, and application of preferences.
In particular, we welcome original contributions to these areas and contributions
that provide cross-fertilization between these fields.

   * preference elicitation
      * interactive preference elicitation
      * preference elicitation in multi-agent systems
      * preference elicitation with incentive-compatibility
      * learning of preferences
      * preference mining
      * revision of preferences
      * measures of preference accuracy
   * preference representation / modelling:
      * linear and non-linear utility representations
      * multiple criteria/attributes
      * qualitative decision theory
      * graphical models
      * logical representations
      * soft constraints
      * relations between qualitative and quantitative approaches
   * properties and semantics of preferences
      * preference composition, merging, and aggregation
      * incomplete or inconsistent preferences
      * intransitive indifference
      * reasoning about preferences
      * preference and choice
   * algorithms for preference handling
   * applications of preferences to
      * decision making (sorting, ranking, choice)
      * problem solving (search, optimization, explanation)
      * data-base querying and repair
      * AI planning, action and causality
      * non-monotonic reasoning, logic programming, belief revision
      * web search
      * human-computer interaction
      * personalization
      * recommendation systems and other e-commerce applications
   * preference management and repositories
   * comparison of approaches, cross-fertilization

  
PARTICIPATION AND PAPER SUBMISSION

The workshop is organized as part of the Nineteenth International Joint Conference
on Artificial Intelligence IJCAI-05

    http://www.ijcai-05.org/

and will be held from July 31 to August 1, 2005 in Edinburgh, Scotland, immediately
prior to the technical conference. IJCAI also includes a tutorial on preferences,
which will be held on July 30, PM.

Workshop attendees NEED NOT register for the main IJCAI conference, but are encouraged
to do so. The number of participants is limited.

Interested participants should submit a paper formatted using the standard IJCAI
guidelines (6 pages in two-column format) by emailing a PDF or Postscript file to
the main workshop organizers (see below) by the date indicated below.

   * March 24, 2005: submission of papers
   * April 30, 2005: notification about acceptance
   * May 22, 2005: submission of camera-ready version
