Computational social choice (COMSOC) studies principled ways to aggregate conflicting individual preferences into collective decisions. In this paper, we call for an increased effort towards Computational Social Choice: Research & Development (COMSOC-R&D), a problem-driven research agenda that explicitly aims to design, implement, and test collective decision-making systems in the real world. We articulate the defining features of COMSOC-R&D, argue for its value, and discuss various roadblocks and possible solutions.
