Computational Social Choice: The First Ten Years and Beyond

Computational social choice is a research area at the intersection of computer science, mathematics, and economics that is concerned with aggregation of preferences of multiple agents. Typical applications include voting, resource allocation, and fair division. This chapter highlights six representative research areas in contemporary computational social choice: restricted preference domains, v...

On Relating Voting Systems and Argumentation Frameworks

Abstract. In the modern world formal voting theories are becoming established and can be used to determine if a Voting System (VS) is fair or not in order to preserve democracy. The Argumentation Framework (AF) is based on the exchange and the evaluation of interacting arguments which may represent information of various kinds. We define a bijective mapping between the two theories and investig...

Fair division - from cake-cutting to dispute resolution

Fair Division, unlike most research on fairness in the social sciences and mathematics, is devoted solely to the analysis of constructive procedures for actually dividing things up and resolving disputes, including...
