Learning Outcomes

On successful completion, students will be able to: - select and develop models, - describe and design (efficient) algorithms, as well as - analyze properties (z.B. computational complexity, existence or stability of solutions, characterizations) for problems arising in the context of collective decision making.

Content

Computational Social Choice addresses problems at the interface of social choice theory with computer science. Social choice theory is the study of processes for collective decision making, such as voting rules or fair division. We discuss some of the fundamental concepts from social choice theory and related disciplines and investigate algorithmic and computational aspects. Specific topics include: - aggregating preferences (rank aggregation) and voting, - algorithmic game theory, - cake cutting protocols, - fair allocation of recourses, - judgment aggregation, - stable matching.
