                         GIPSy 2011

      Workshop on Games, Logics and Security (2nd edition)

                      Rennes, France
                       25-27 October 2011

======================================================================

Security and privacy problems in computer networks and mobile applications 
often stem from the interaction between agents of the network (which can be 
individuals as well as devices or softwares acting autonomously). Modeling the 
interaction between agents is therefore essential to address security problems 
appropriately. Game theory and logic are the most prominent frameworks for the 
formal treatment of interaction. They permit not only to model and represent 
this interaction between agents, but they also lead to the development of 
applicable algorithms and decision procedures. In the past two decades, a 
number of logical frameworks and game-theoretic approaches have been proposed 
to model and analyze computer networks from the security point of view, 
sometimes resorting to non-classical logics (such as epistemic or 
intuitionistic logics).

The main goal of this workshop is to gather researchers interested in games, 
logic and security (in a broad sense), and to offer a privileged forum to 
present their work and exchange ideas on these topics.

The following invited tutorials are scheduled:

- Gilles Barthe, IMDEA Software Institute Research, Madrid
Probabilistic Reasoning about Differential Privacy

- Anne Broadbent, Institute for Quantum Computing & Department of Combinatorics 
and Optimization, University of Waterloo
Quantum Nonlocal Games and Cryptography

- Jean-Pierre Hubaux, EPFL Lausanne
Designing Network Security and Privacy Mechanisms: How Game Theory Can Help

- Mark Ryan, University of Birmingham Verifying Real-Life Protocols: Theory and 
Two Cases

- Moshe Vardi, Department of Computer Science, Rice University
The Rise and Fall of LTL

Apart from the invited talks, participants have the opportunity to give short 
talks (approximately 20 minutes). Selection will be made on the basis of an 
extended abstract of at most 2 pages.

The registration is free but mandatory. Lunches are included in the 
registration.

Important dates:
- Submission deadline: 9th October 2011
- Notification to authors: 11th October 2011
- Deadline for registration: 13th October 2011
- Workshop: 25th-27th October 2011

We will be able to cover part of travel and accommodation costs for a limited 
number of participants (especially students). For information, please contact
