Preface This volume contains the proceedings of the 12th International Conference on Relational and Algebraic Methods in Computer Science (RAMiCS 2011) with a special track on Computational Social Choice and Social Software. The conference took place in Rotterdam, The Netherlands, from May 30 to June 3, 2011. Over the past 20 years, the RelMiCS (Relational Methods in Computer Science) and AKA (Applications of Kleene Algebra) conferences have been a main forum for researchers who use the calculus of relations and similar algebraic formalisms as methodological and conceptual tools. At the last of these conferences it was decided that the two series should be united under the new title Relational and Algebraic Methods in Computer Science (RAMiCS). This year, special attention was paid to the fact that the meetings started 20 years ago at the Banach Center in Warsaw. It was commemorated with an invited lecture by Chris Brink, who, together with Ewa Orlowska and Gunther Schmidt, was one of the originators of this series. Relational and algebraic methods and software tools like RelView turn out to be useful for solving problems in social choice and game theory. For that reason this conference included a special track on Computational Social Choice and Social Software, organized by the CFSC (Computational Foundations of Social Choice) and SSEAC (Social Software for Elections, the Allocation of tenders and Coalition formation) projects of the ESF LogiCCC programme. Each submission was reviewed by three Programme Committee members. The committee decided to accept 18 papers. The programme also included five invited talks, of which three were on relational and algebraic methods, by Chris Brink, Bernhard Möller (included) and Renate Schmidt (included), and two on social choice theory, by Donald Saari and Agnieszka Rusinowska (included). In addition, there were two tutorials on relational and algebraic methods, by Georg Struth (included) and Michael Winter (included), and two on social choice theory, by Donald Saari (included) and Felix Brandt (included). These tutorials were part of a special PhD programme, where PhD students also had the opportunity to present their work in progress. I am very grateful to the members of the Programme Committee and the external referees for their care and diligence in reviewing the submitted papers. I would also like to thank the Faculty of Philosophy of the Erasmus University in Rotterdam for having accepted to host this conference, in particular Willy Ophelders, Amanda Koopman, Linda Degener and Lizzy Patilaya for their assistance. I also gratefully appreciate the excellent facilities offered by the Easy- Chair conference administration system. Last but not least I would like to thank the European Science Foundation (ESF) and the Erasmus Trust Fund for their generous financial support. March 2011 Harrie de Swart
