‍The eleventh multidisciplinary workshop on advances in preferences handling has been held in New Orleans, Louisiana, USA on February 3, 2018, in conjunction with AAAI 2018. It has been organized by Markus Endres, Nicholas Mattei, Andreas Pfandler, and K. Brent Venable. The program consisted of sixteen presentation and a panel discussion about the future of preference research. The topics of the papers included preferences in matching, markets, and games, applications of preferences, voting & preferences, preference models, preference reasoning, and preference learning.

The Fifth International Conference on Algorithmic Decision Theory has been held on October 25 - 27, 2017 in Luxembourg and has been organized by Raymond Bisdorff (conference chair) and Jörg Rothe (program chair). The conference provided a multi-disciplinary forum to discuss algorithmic challenges of modern decision support system. The twenty-five papers covered topics such as preferences and multi-criteria decision aiding, decision making and voting, game theory and decision theory, and allocation and matching. Three invited talks provided interesting insights into novel paradigms for mechanism design, decision making in presence of the Internet of Things, and deceased organ matching. The conference furthermore included a poster session, an excellent banquet, and was preceded by a doctoral consortium. The conference proceedings have been published as Volume 10576 of the Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence series.

ADT 2015

The Fourth International Conference on Algorithmic Decision Theory has been held on September 27 - 30, 2015 in Lexington, Kentucky (USA) and organized by Judy Goldsmith (conference chair) and Toby Walsh (program chair). In addition to preferences in reasoning and decision making, the conference covered algorithmic challenges to modern decision support and automation, uncertainty and robustness in decision making, multi-criteria decision analysis and optimization, collective decision making, decision-theoretic artificial intelligence, and machine learning and knowledge extraction for decision support. The conference accepted submissions for proceedings which have been published as a volume of the Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence series as well as submissions without proceedings that are published elsewhere. ADT 2015 has been co-located with the 13th International Conference on Logic Programming and Nonmonotonic Reasoning LPNMR 2015. Lexington is situated in the Bluegrass region and known for horse races, basketball, and Bourbon. The conference proceedings have been published as Volume 9346 of the Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence series.

MPREF 2015

‍The ninth multidisciplinary workshop on advances in preferences handling has been organized by Darius Braziunas, Markus Endres, K. Brent Venable, Paul Weng, and Lirong Xia in Buenos Aires, Argentina on July 27, 2015, in conjunction with IJCAI 2015. The workshop has been held jointly with the workshop on intelligent personalization. The combined program featured two invited talks and fourteen presentations. The talks related to preference handling covered topics such as preference elicitation, conditional preferences, and preferences in data-bases.
