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.

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
