Important: We have received requests for allowing paper submissions after the author notification dates of ECAI 2025 and COMSOC 2025. We are therefore opening the M-PREF 2025 submission web site for a second round of submissions from July 15 to August 1, 2025.

We invite interested researchers to submit papers on any computational aspect of preference handling to the 16th Multidisciplinary Workshop on Advances in Preference Handling (M-PREF 2025), to be held in Bologna, Italy on October 25, 2025 in conjunction with ECAI 2025.
The purpose of workshop presentations is to get early feedback on new ideas and to stimulate discussions between researchers interested in preference handling. As such, there will be no formal proceedings, but we may post accepted papers on the workshop website for the benefit of the workshop participants if the authors agree to this and the paper has not already been published.
Original submissions: Submissions about unpublished ideas will be reviewed by a double-blind process (so, should be anonymous). Papers should be formatted according to the ECAI formatting instructions and not exceed 7 pages (plus 1 extra page for references). Supplementary material such as a technical appendix or code and data is not required, but can be provided.
Multiple submissions: Authors who are seeking a broader forum for already published work and who are interested in giving a presentation to the workshop’s audience may submit their work non-anonymously while indicating where this work has been published. We will only accept work which has been published in the last calendar year (e.g., AAAI 2025, IJCAI 2025, and any conference held after June 2024).
