Past Conferences and Workshops
Interdisciplinary Workshop on Information and Decision in Social Networks
(May 31 - June 1, 2011)
The workshop brought together researchers from different communities working on information propagation and decision making in social networks to investigate both rigorous models that highlight capabilities and limitations of such networks as well as empirical and simulation studies of how people exchange information, influence each other, make decisions and develop social interactions.
Paths Ahead in the Science of Information and Decision Systems:
(November 12 - 14, 2009)
The Symposium, which was held November 12-14, 2009, was a smashing success, with 340 registrants, four outstanding and thought-provoking panel sessions, a plenary address by Sanjoy Mitter, a very enjoyable banquet which included a tour of the history of LIDS by Alan Willsky, and an energized and enthusiastic atmosphere. Articles and photos on the Symposium have appeared in several different IEEE Society magazines and newsletters.
Workshop on Frontiers in Game Theory and Networked Control Systems:
(October 10-12, 2008)
This interdisciplinary workshop was organized at MIT by LIDS faculty in collaboration with colleagues from MIT Economics Department, Georgia Tech, and University of Oxford. The goal was to create an interactive forum to discuss problems that arise in the control of large-scale multi-agent systems by bringing together leading researchers in game theory, economics, operations research, computer science, and engineering.
2nd Northeast Control Workshop:
(April 21-22, 2006)
This workshop was intended as a forum for graduate and postdoctoral students to present their research, and to interact with their peers and with faculty.
