Topics of Interest
The scope of the workshop is intentionally broad and addresses all aspects of
understanding, modelling, computational handling, and application of preferences.
In particular, we welcome original contributions to these areas and contributions
that provide cross-fertilization between these fields. Furthermore, we highly
appreciate applications of preferences, in particular for personalized database
applications.
