================================================================ GAMES 2011 - CALL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS Annual Workshop of the ESF Networking Programme on Games for Design and Verification Paris, 31 August - 3 September 2011 http://www.lsv.ens-cachan.fr/~dwb/games2011/ ================================================================ 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) SUBMISSIONS: 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. IMPORTANT DATES Abstract submission: 20 June 2011 Author notification: 10 July 2011 Workshop: 31 August - 3 September 2011 TRAVEL SUPPORT: We will be able to cover travel and accommodation costs for a limited number of participants (especially students).
