Abstract

Computational Social Choice is an interdisciplinary research area involving\nEconomics, Political Science, and Social Science on the one side, and\nMathematics and Computer Science (including Artificial Intelligence and\nMultiagent Systems) on the other side. Typical computational problems studied\nin this field include the vulnerability of voting procedures against attacks,\nor preference aggregation in multi-agent systems. Parameterized Algorithmics is\na subfield of Theoretical Computer Science seeking to exploit meaningful\nproblem-specific parameters in order to identify tractable special cases of in\ngeneral computationally hard problems. In this paper, we propose nine of our\nfavorite research challenges concerning the parameterized complexity of\nproblems appearing in this context.\n
