It’s not too late to send us an awesome abstract!

The 4th Lund Conference on Games, Interaction, Reasoning, Learning and Semantics (GIRLS16@LUND) will take place at Lund University on April 27-28, 2016. The conference welcomes submissions from researchers in philosophy, cognitive science, economics, computer science, media science, and linguistics, using agent based models with bounded rationality, models of evolutionary dynamics, and other naturalistic approaches. The primary goal of the conference is to foster cooperation between these groups and help establish common interest in investigating the emergence of rational behavior in groups of less-than-ideally rational agents through learning and interaction.

This year’s conference theme will be “Knowledge in a Digital World” broadly construed.

The conference is funded by “Knowledge in a Digital World”, a joint project led by Pr. Erik Olsson and Pr. Olof Sundin between the Lund University Information Quality Research Group (LUIQ) in the department of Philosophy and the Information Practices: Communication, Culture and Society (IP) situated at the Department of Arts and Cultural Sciences.
