Abstract: Society relies on many algorithms for its functioning, e.g. holding regular elections, distributing vaccines etc. We often assume
these algorithms to have certain logical properties. For instance,in an election, we not only want confidentiality but also verifiability
(that every vote cast has been counted), and more such properties.Can we even prove that these requirements are consistent?

We present some examples of such analysis: insights from mathematical logic, computer science, game theory and dynamical
systems theory seem relevant for such exploration.

The webinar is free. The SIAA-members are welcome to invite their friends, and other interested people. However, for our records, each person needs to register. We are basically interested in participation by academics.
