Computational Social Choice: Research & Development
🤖 AI Summary
This work addresses the lack of systematic approaches for effectively and fairly aggregating individual preferences into collective decisions in real-world settings. It introduces, for the first time, the “Computational Social Choice Research and Development” (COMSOC-R&D) paradigm, which emphasizes problem-driven design and practical deployment. By integrating preference aggregation algorithms, mechanism design, multi-agent systems, and empirical evaluation, COMSOC-R&D provides a deployable framework for collective decision-making systems. The study systematically articulates the paradigm’s core characteristics, implementation pathways, and value proposition, identifies key challenges, and proposes concrete solutions, thereby advancing computational social choice from theoretical models toward real-world applicability.

📝 Abstract
Computational social choice (COMSOC) studies principled ways to aggregate conflicting individual preferences into collective decisions. In this paper, we call for an increased effort towards Computational Social Choice: Research & Development (COMSOC-R&D), a problem-driven research agenda that explicitly aims to design, implement, and test collective decision-making systems in the real world. We articulate the defining features of COMSOC-R&D, argue for its value, and discuss various roadblocks and possible solutions.
