Multi-Objective Decision Making Workshop - 2024

In recent years there has been a growing awareness of the need for automated and assistive decision making systems to move beyond single-objective formulations when dealing with complex real-world issues, which invariably involve multiple competing objectives. The purpose of this workshop is to promote collaboration and cross-fertilisation of ideas between researchers working in different areas of multi-objective decision making in the context of intelligent systems, and to provide a forum for dissemination of high-quality multi-objective decision making research.

Previous editions of this workshop may be found at the following urls:

The workshop targets high-quality original papers covering all aspects of multi-objective decision making, including, but not limited to, the list of topics below. The following is a non-exhaustive list of topics that we would like to cover in the workshop:

  • Multi-objective/multi-criteria/multi-attribute decision making
  • Multi-objective reinforcement learning
  • Multi-objective planning and scheduling
  • Multi-objective multi-agent decision making
  • Multi-objective game theory
  • Preference elicitation for MODeM
  • Social choice and MODeM
  • Multi-objective decision support systems
  • Multi-objective metaheuristic optimisation (e.g. evolutionary algorithms) for autonomous agents and multi-agent systems
  • Multi-objectivisation
  • Ethical AI through multi-objective modelling
  • Explainable AI through multi-objective modelling
  • Interactive systems for MODeM
  • Applications of MODeM
  • Interdisciplinary work (MODeM research that relates to other fields)
  • New benchmark problems for MODeM

Extended and revised versions of papers presented at the workshop will be eligible for inclusion in a journal topical collection.

Program Details

The workshop programme will consist of contributed original talks, invited talks, and a panel discussion. We might also ask participants to pre-record talks and make them available outside of the workshop sessions, on our Youtube channel.

Important Dates

  • Submission Deadline: 15 June 2024 (23:59 AoE)
  • Notification of acceptance: 6 August 2024
  • Camera-ready copies: 13 August 2024
  • Workshop: 19/20 October 2024

Submission Details

Papers should be formatted according to the ECAI 2024 guidelines, and should be a maximum of 7 pages in length (with additional pages containing references only). Additionally, we welcome submission of preliminary results, i.e. work-in-progress, as well as visionary outlook papers that lay out directions for future research in a specific area, both up to 5 pages in length, although shorter papers are very much welcome, and will not be judged differently. Finally, we also accept summaries of recently published journal papers in the form of a 2-page abstract.

All submissions will be peer-reviewed (double-blind). Accepted work will be allocated time for poster and/or oral presentation during the workshop. Extended versions of original papers presented at the workshop will also be eligible for inclusion in a post-proceedings journal topical collection.

Papers can be submitted through Microsoft CMT.

Journal Topical Collection

After the workshop, all original contributions presented at MODeM 2024 will be invited to submit substantially improved and extended versions of their work, for consideration to be published in a post-proceedings topical collection of the Springer journal Neural Computing & Applications (NC&A, impact factor 6.0). More information will follow soon.
