Workshop on Applied Adversarial Reasoning and Risk Modeling (AARM)

At AAAI 2011 in San Francisco, California (August 7-11, 2011)

Workshop Description

The main goal of this workshop is to facilitate discussion between researchers working on different applied problems in adversarial reasoning and risk modeling. These applications share many of the same core research challenges, but often the work is presented to a limited audience specializing in a particular type of application. Here, we aim to provide a venue for crossfertilization that will give researchers working in different domains the opportunity to share their knowledge and techniques for adversarial modeling under risk and uncertainty, potentially leading to new ways to leverage domain specific methods into a coherent global framework for applied strategic reasoning.

Important dates:

• Submission deadline: April 22, 2011
• Notification date: May 13, 2011
• Author accepted paper submission deadline: May 27, 2011

Topics

• Applications of adversarial reasoning
• Non-cooperative game theory
• Robust planning and optimization
• Opponent modeling
• Modeling human behavior in adversarial settings
• Risk and uncertainty in multi-agent systems
• Evaluation and benchmarking for real-world applications
• Expert elicitation and domain modeling
• Scalable algorithms and structured representations
• Learning and adaptation in adversarial domains
