IMS workshops on Algorithmic Game Theory and Computational Social Choice
Mini-workshop on Mechanism Design: 10 - 11 Jan 2013. Winter School and Workshop on Algorithmic Game Theory: 14 - 18 Jan 2013. Winter School and Workshop on Computational Social Choice: 21 - 25 Jan 2013. This is a brief and personalised report on the Algorithmic Game Theory and Computational Social Choice workshops held from 14-25 January 2013 in Singapore. The workshops were focussed on the general interface between economics and computation. A wide variety of topics were covered. The talks initially focussed on mechanism design and auctions and then slowly turned towards game theory and finally social choice and fair division. When I arrived in Singapore on the 13th of January, the mini-workshop on mechanism design had already finished. The workshop's highlight was an extensive tutorial by Jason Hartline. Singapore provided a great backdrop to the workshops. Algorithmic game theory and computational social choice has received a great boost in Singapore with the establish...
