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.

CoopMAS 2013
The Fourth Workshop on Cooperative Games in Multiagent Systems (CoopMAS-2013) https://sites.google.com/site/coopmas2013/home May 6 or 7, 2013 Saint Paul, Minnesota, USA Co-located with the 12th International Conference on Autonomous Agents and Multiagent Systems (AAMAS 2013) The use of cooperative game theory to study how agents should cooperate and collaborate, along with the related topic of coalition formation, has received growing attention from the multiagent systems, game theory, and electronic commerce communities. The workshop is intended to focus on topics in cooperation in multi-agent systems, cooperative game theory and cooperative solution concepts, formation of coalitions, negotiation between agents, joint decision making, and voting. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: Cooperative game theory Coalition formation Joint decision making and voting Representation issues Negotiation Collaborative filtering Market and economics based...
