* 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,

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.
