Scope of the workshop:
----------------------
GASICS is an ESF project of the EUROCORES programme LogICCC
(Modelling intelligent interaction Logic in the Humanities,
Social and Computational sciences ). It studies game theoretic
formalizations of interactive computational systems and
algorithms for their analysis and synthesis. Our aim is to extend
the existing notions of games played on graphs introduced by
computer scientists. Currently, most of the games played on
graphs are of the sort "two-players zero-sum", we aim to extend
them to "multiple-players non-zero-sum", and show the
applicability of the new theory to the analysis and synthesis of
interactive computational systems.

The aim of this workshop is to bring together researchers working
on game-related subjects, and to discuss on various aspects of
game theory in the fields where it is applied. The workshop will
be composed of two invited talks, together with contributed talks
on the following (non-exhaustive) list of relevant topics:
  - Adapted notions of games for synthesis of complex interactive
    computational systems
  - Games played on complex and infinite graphs
  - Games with quantitative objectives
  - Game with incomplete information and over dynamic structures
  - Heuristics for efficient game solving.


Submissions:
------------
An abstract no longer than 2 pages should be sent by e-mail to
                     gasics@ulb.ac.be.
We welcome already-published works as well as reports on on-going
research. There will be no formal proceedings, but the abstracts
together with handouts of presentations will be made available to
the participants. Contributed talks are planed to last 30
minutes.
