[About SOCREAL]

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, October 2013, and October 2016. Building upon the success of these editions, its fifth edition will be held from 15 November till 17 November 2019.

SOCREAL 2019 will consist of keynote lectures by invited speakers and presentations of submitted papers. Keynote lectures will be given by Barteld Kooi (University of Groningen), Jeremy Seligman (University of Auckland), and Tomoyuki Yamada (Hokkaido University). The working language of SOCREAL Workshop is English.
