* Scope and Mission

The mission of the TARK conferences is to bring together researchers
from a wide variety of fields, including Artificial Intelligence,
Cryptography, Distributed Computing, Economics and Game Theory,
Linguistics, Philosophy, and Psychology, in order to further our
understanding of interdisciplinary issues involving reasoning about
rationality and knowledge.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, semantic models
for knowledge, belief, and uncertainty, bounded rationality and
resource-bounded reasoning, commonsense epistemic reasoning, epistemic
logic, knowledge and action, applications of reasoning about knowledge
and other mental states, belief revision, and foundations of
multi-agent systems.


* Workshops

Two full-day workshops will precede and follow the conference:

``Reasoning about other minds: logical and cognitive perspectives",

``Quantum physics meets TARK".
