      GAMES 2011 - CALL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS

  Annual Workshop of the ESF Networking Programme on

      Games for Design and Verification

     Paris, 31 August - 3 September 2011

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

The ESF Networking Programme on Games for Design and Verification is a
European Network pursuing research and training on the design and
verification of computing systems.  This network proposes a research
and training programme for the design and verification of computing
systems, using a methodological framework that is based on the
interplay of finite and infinite games, mathematical logic and
automata theory.  For details, see www.games.rwth-aachen.de/

GAMES is the annual workshop of the Network. This year's GAMES
workshop will be held at Universit Paris Diderot, France.


SCOPE:
The scope of the workshop includes the mathematical and algorithmic
analysis of finite and infinite games, the interplay of games with
automata theory and logic, and applications of games, automata, and
logic to the design and verification of computing systems.


PROGRAMME:
As in previous years, GAMES 2011 will be an informal workshop, without
proceedings. Its programme consists of five invited tutorials,
contributed talks (30 min) and short presentations (15 min).
Contributed talks and short presentations will be selected by the
programme committee on the basis of submitted abstracts.


INVITED TUTORIALS:
- Thomas A. Henzinger (IST Austria)
- Sven Schewe (Liverpool, UK)
- Karl Sigmund (U. Vienna, Austria)
- Nicolas Vieille (HEC Paris, France)
- Thomas Wilke (U. Kiel, Germany)

Researchers who would like to present a talk at GAMES 2011 are invited
to submit an abstract of up to two pages by email to

  games2011@lsv.ens-cachan.fr

by 20 June 2011. Decisions about acceptance will be made by 10 July 2011.
