Proceedings: LNCS/LNAI volume (available at the workshop). Postproceedings: extended versions of selected papers will be published in a special issue of Annals of Mathematics and Artificial Intelligence. ************************************************************************ INTRODUCTION Strategic reasoning occurs in many multi-agent systems. This is especially evident in game-theoretical and decision-theoretical models of MAS, but also in more informal settings using the game metaphor (like computer games or social network services). Mathematical logic can contribute to this view in many ways by providing specifications, models, and/or algorithms for game-like scenarios. We invite papers that address how logic can contribute to our understanding, modeling and analysis of games, but also ones that investigate how the metaphor of games and strategies can help in constructing and using logical formalisms. The list of subjects includes (but is not limited to) the following topics: - Logics for reasoning about games and strategies - Modal logics of strategic ability - Logical foundations of game and decision theory - Logical approaches to rationality and bounded rationality - Solving games and verification of strategies by model checking - Logics for mechanism design - Game semantics for logics - Games in verification of logical specifications SUBMISSION We encourage submission of high quality, original papers which have not been accepted for publication nor are currently under review for another journal or conference. Submissions should not exceed 16 pages in the Springer LNCS format. For templates and instructions for authors, see http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html . Papers should be submitted electronically via EasyChair: http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=clima2010 . PROCEEDINGS AND POST-PROCEEDINGS LNCS Proceedings: All the accepted papers (including special session papers) will be published by Springer as a volume in Lecture Notes in Computer Science, and will be available in time for the workshop. AMAI Special Issue: After the workshop, authors of selected papers will be invited to extend and re-submit their work to a special issue of Annals of Mathematics and Artificial Intelligence. IMPORTANT DATES Paper submission: May 7, 2010 Author notification: June 4, 2010 Camera-ready deadline: June 16, 2010 Workshop: August 16-17, 2010 ORGANIZATION AND CONTACT The special session is organized by Wojtek Jamroga, University of Luxembourg.
