1st Multidisciplinary Workshop on

Advances in Preference Handling

TOPICS OF INTEREST

The scope of the workshop is intentionally broad and addresses all aspects of understanding, modeling, 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 and 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

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
