SOCREAL 2016

Since the last years of the 20th century, a number of attempts have been made in order to model various aspects of social interaction among agents including individual agents, organizations, and individuals representing organizations. The aim of SOCREAL Workshop is to bring together researchers working on diverse aspects of such interaction in logic, philosophy, ethics, computer science, cognitive science and related fields in order to share issues, ideas, techniques, and results.

The earlier editions of SOCREAL Workshop has been held in March 2007, March 2010, and October 2013. Building upon the success of these editions, its fourth edition will be held from 28 October till 30 October 2016.

There are two changes in the workshop. Firstly, SOCREAL 2016 will be held as one of the satellite workshops of 10th International Conference on Applied Ethics: 'The Past, Present and Future of Applied Ethics', October 28-30, 2016, Hosted by the Center for Applied Ethics and Philosophy (CAEP), Hokkaido University, Sapporo, Japan. More information on the conference can be found at: the web-site of the conference.

Secondly, its longer name is slightly modified in order to make its theoretical focus more evident. It is now called ``International Workshop on Philosophy and Logic of Social Reality''.

SOCREAL 2016 will consist of lectures by invited speakers and presentations of submitted papers. Researchers from various fields, including logic, philosophy, ethics, computer science, cognitive science are hereby invited to submit an extended abstract (up to two thousand words) by 14 June 2016 to CAEP (caep@let.hokudai.ac.jp).
