MODELS OF PREFERENCE CHANGE
	Description	Preference change is an important topic in political philosophy, economics, psychology and decision theory. It poses a major problem for action explanation, since without the understanding of how long preferences remain stable, or of how they change after a certain period, any preference explanation is open to ad hoc modifications. It further poses a problem for normative purposes, since without an understanding of how preferences remain stable or how they change, the normative relevance of present preferences for future consequences cannot be determined. Despite this obvious importance of preference change, we find that it is treated more as a phantom than as a phenomenon: it is often mentioned to motivate theoretical arguments, but it is hardly ever the subject of systematic research itself. In this workshop, we hope to begin mending this theoretical deficit. We will convene experts from philosophy, economics and psychology to debate and compare the different approaches that have been made in modelling preference change. In particular, we want to facilitate an interdisciplinary exchange, where philosophical theories of rational decision, economic techniques of modelling behaviour and psychological empirical research inform each other – while maintaining a clear focus on the philosophical issues of these different approaches, and the way they interpret the empirical evidence.

Practical Cognitive Agents and Robots
	Description	International Symposium on Practical Cognitive Agents and Robots (PCAR 2006) Mobile autonomous robots can perform complex tasks in unstructured and dynamic environments. Advances in autonomous mobile robotics over the last decade have been extraordinary, and the potential for future scientific breakthroughs and applications is breathtaking. However, a number of bottlenecks to future advancement have been identified such as building robots that know what they are doing, and that can adapt to changing conditions and requirements. This symposium seeks to move the research frontier by focusing on the scientific bottlenecks, namely equipping robots with more knowledge about internal representations and the external world, as well as developing an awareness of oneself and others.

BR & Dynamic Logic
	Description	In 'standard' AGM belief revision, a deductively closed theory T is revised with a formula phi, resulting in a revised theory T * phi. Typically, the negation of phi is in T and has to be 'retracted'. A fairly recent way to model belief revision is within more general theories of action and change such as dynamic logic, as sketched first in 'Two traditions in the logic of belief: bringing them together', by Segerberg (1996, and 1999). In this setting a pointed Kripke model for belief in the theory T satisfies in particular B ~phi, and a dynamic modal operator [* phi], for 'belief revision with phi', is interpreted as an epistemic state transformer [[* phi]]. In the resulting epistemic state then holds B phi. There are also other general frameworks, that have been investigated recently in AI, such as situation calculus and fluent calculus. Such dynamic (and generally epistemic) approaches allow in a natural fashion for multi-agent belief revision, for belief revision with epistemic beliefs (typically: of other agents), and provide refreshing insights on irrevocable belief revision and iterated belief revision.

RoboCup 2002
	Description	RoboCup is an international research and education initiative. Its goal is to foster artificial intelligence and robotics research by providing a standard problem where a wide range of technologies can be examined and integrated. The concept of soccer-playing robots was first introduced in 1993. Following a two-year feasibility study, in August 1995, an announcement was made to introduce the first international conferences and soccer games. In July 1997, the first official conference and game was held in Nagoya, Japan. Followed by Paris, Stockholm, Melbourne and Seattle, the annual events attracted many participants. Following previous conferences and games, the 6th RoboCup will be held in Fukuoka, Japan in cooperation with Busan, Korea in June, 2002. This RoboCup will coincide with the"2002 World Cup Korea/Japan".Today, more than 3,000 researchers from 35 countries and regions are participating in various projects such as international games, conferences, research and educational programs. The main focus of the RoboCup organization is competitive soccer. Games are important opportunities for researchers to exchange technical information. They also serve as a great chance to educate and entertain the public. RoboCupSoccer is divided into the following leagues: Simulation league Small-size robot league (f-180) Middle-size robot league (f-2000) Four-legged robot league Humanoid league

First International Joint Conference on Autonomous Agents and Multi-Agent Systems AAMAS 2002 (Autonomous Agents 2002)
	Description	Agents (adaptive or intelligent agents and multi-agent systems) are one of the most prominent and attractive technologies in Computer Science at the beginning of the new century. Agent and MAS technologies, methods, and theories are currently contributing to many diverse domains such as information retrieval, user interface design, robotics, electronic commerce, computer mediated collaboration, computer games, education and training, smart environments, ubiquitous computers, social simulation, etc. They are not only a very promising technology, they are emerging as a new way of thinking, a conceptual paradigm for analyzing problems and for designing systems, for dealing with complexity, distribution and interactivity, and perhaps a new perspective on computing and intelligence. Yet to realize this promise further advances are required in agent architectures, languages, theories, and design techniques.

Semantic Web Working Symposium
	Description	The Semantic Web is a vision: the idea of having data on the Web defined and linked in a way that it can be used by machines not just for display purposes, but for automation, integration and reuse of data across various applications. In order to make this vision a reality for the Web, supporting standards, technologies and policies must be designed to enable machines to make more sense of the Web, with the result of making the Web more useful for humans. Facilities and technologies to put machine-understandable data on the Web are rapidly becoming a high priority for many communities. For the Web to scale, programs must be able to share and process data even when these programs have been designed totally independently. The Web can reach its full potential only if it becomes a place where data can be shared and processed by automated tools as well as by people.
