Abstract
From 07.08.05 to 12.08.05, the Dagstuhl Seminar 05321 ``Belief Change in Rational Agents: Perspectives from Artificial Intelligence, Philosophy, and Economics'' was held in the International Conference and Research Center (IBFI), Schloss Dagstuhl. During the seminar, several participants presented their current research, and ongoing work and open problems were discussed. Abstracts of the presentations given during the seminar as well as abstracts of seminar results and ideas are put together in this paper. The first section describes the seminar topics and goals in general. Links to extended abstracts or full papers are provided, if available.

05321 Executive Summary – Belief Change in Rational Agents: Perspectives from Artificial Intelligence, Philosophy, and Economics

Abstract
The area of belief change studies how a rational agent may maintain its beliefs when obtaining or perceiving new information about the environment. This new information could include properties of the actual world, occurrences of events, and, in the case of multiple agents, actions performed by other agents, as well as the beliefs and preferences of other agents. Not surprisingly, this area has been of interest to researchers in different communities. The initial research in belief change came from the philosophical community, wherein belief change was studied generally from a normative point of view (that is, providing axiomatic foundations about how rational agents should behave with respect to the information flux). Subsequently, computer scientists, especially in the artificial intelligence (AI) and the database (DB) communities, have been building on these results. Belief change, as studied by computer scientists, not only pays attention to behavioural properties characterising evolving databases or knowledge bases, but must also address computational issues such as how to represent beliefs states in a concise way and how to efficiently compute the revision of a belief state. More recently, the economics and game theory community, in particular the emerging field of cognitive economics, has become active in belief change research, adopting a normative point of view, like philosophers, but paying more attention to the ''cognitive plausibility'' or ''fitness'' of the belief change operators. The goal of the seminar was to bring together researchers from these areas, allowing for the identification and addressing of problems of common interest in this area, as well as providing a means to explore ways in which one area may contribute to another.
