Editorial Logic, Rationality and Interaction (LORI-5): Introduction to the Special Issue
Wiebe van der Hoek, Wesley H. Holliday, Wen-fang Wang · Journal of Logic and Computation · 2017
This special issue of the Journal of Logic and Computation contains revised and extended versions of selected papers from LORI-5, the 5th International Workshop on Logic, Rationality and Interaction. LORI-5 was held during 28–31 October 2015, in Taipei, Taiwan, and hosted by the Department of Philosophy of National Taiwan University and the Institute of Philosophy of Mind and Cognition of National Yang-Ming University. The hallmark of the LORI series is its broad topical coverage, putting logic into contact with disciplines as diverse as game theory and decision theory, philosophy and epistemology, linguistics, computer science and artificial intelligence. In the current special issue, the reader will find several mainstays of the LORI series: modal and epistemic logics, theories of learning and argumentation, and pure logic. Out of 62 original submissions to LORI-5, 32 full papers were selected for presentation based on reviews by at least two—and on average three—members of the LORI-5 program committee. After the workshop, the authors of 20 of the full papers were invited to submit extended versions of their papers to be considered for either the present special issue or a parallel special issue of the journal Synthese. Each of the 10 papers considered for this special issue underwent review by two or three referees, leading to at least one—and in some cases two or three—rounds of revision. The final products are the nine papers collected in this issue. As an overview of its contents, below we provide a brief summary of each paper (in alphabetical order by author’s last name).
