====================================================================== M-PREF 2025: CFP - Second Round of Submissions ======================================================================
16th Multidisciplinary Workshop on Advances in Preference Handling
October 25, 2025, Bologna, Italy in conjunction with ECAI 2025
====================================================================== Second Round of Submissions July 15 - August 1, 2025 ======================================================================
IMPORTANT
We have received requests for allowing M-PREF 2025 paper submissions after the author notification dates of ECAI 2025 and COMSOC 2025. We are therefore opening the M-PREF 2025 submission web site for a second round of submissions from July 15 to August 1, 2025. This is in addition to our original round of submissions, which will be handled as announced. Papers submitted in the second round will be reviewed in the same way as the papers submitted in the first round, but author notification will only be begin of September, just before the early registration deadline of ECAI.
TOPICS
The workshop on Advances in Preference Handling addresses all computational aspects of preference handling. This includes methods for the elicitation, learning, modeling, representation, aggregation, and management of preferences and for reasoning about preferences. The workshop studies the usage of preferences in computational tasks from decision making, database querying, web search, personalized human- computer interaction, personalized recommender systems, e-commerce, multi-agent systems, game theory, social choice, combinatorial optimization, planning and robotics, automated problem solving, perception and natural language understanding and other computational tasks involving choices. The workshop seeks to improve the overall understanding of and best methodologies for preferences in order to realize their benefits in the multiplicity of tasks for which they are used. Another important goal is to provide cross-fertilization between the numerous sub-fields that work with preferences.
- Preference handling in artificial intelligence - Preference handling in database systems - Preference handling in multi-agent systems - Applications of preferences - Preference elicitation and learning - Preference representation and modeling - Properties and semantics of preferences - Practical preferences
FORMAT
The program will consist of presentations of peer-reviewed papers, panel discussions about future challenges, and an invited talk.
SUBMISSION
We invite interested researchers to submit papers on any computational aspect of preference handling.
The purpose of workshop presentations is to get early feedback on new ideas and to stimulate discussions between researchers interested in preference handling. As such, there will be no formal proceedings, but we may post accepted papers on the workshop website for the benefit of the workshop participants if the authors agree to this and the paper has not already been published.
**Original submissions**: Submissions about unpublished ideas will be reviewed by a double-blind process (so, should be anonymous). Papers should be formatted according to the ECAI formatting instructions and not exceed 7 pages (plus 1 extra page for references). Supplementary material such as a technical appendix or code and data is not required, but can be provided.
**Multiple submissions**: Authors who are seeking a broader forum for already published work and who are interested in giving a presentation to the workshop’s audience may submit their work non-anonymously while indicating where this work has been published. We will only accept work which has been published in the last calendar year (e.g., AAAI 2025, IJCAI 2025, and any conference held after June 2024).
