Call for nominations: Game theory and computer science Prize, Deadline: 15 Feb 2008

Call for nominations: Prize in Game Theory and Computer Science * deadline 
15 February 2008 *

At the recent game theory conference in Jerusalem in honor of Ehud Kalai, 
a new Prize in Game Theory and Computer Science was announced by the 
Society in recognition of Ehud's role in promoting this exciting new area 
of research. The prize will be awarded at each of the next three World 
Congresses to the person (or persons) who have published the best paper at 
the interface of game theory and computer science in recent years. 
Preference will be given to candidates who are 45 or less at the time of 
the Congress, but this is not a binding constraint. The amount of the 
Prize will be $2000 plus travel expenses to attend the Congress.

The Society invites nominations for the prize, which will be awarded for 
the first time at the upcoming World Congress at Northwestern University 
(July 13-17, 2008). Each nomination should include a full copy of the 
paper (in pdf format) plus an extended abstract, not exceeding two pages, 
that explains the nature and importance of the contribution.

Nominations should be emailed to the Society's Secretary-Treasurer, Eric 
van Damme (at gts@uvt.nl ), by 15 February 2008. The selection will be 
made by a committee appointed by the President, and the result will be 
announced in April 2008.
