INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON GAME THEORY I

The conference will be held from July 10 to July 14, 2000, on the Campus of the State University of New York at Stony Brook. The organiser is John Hillas of the University of Auckland.

If you wish to present a talk at the conference, please send two copies of an extended abstract (up to three pages) and, if possible, a full paper. Please include the names of all authors and co-authors, their affiliations, complete addresses, telephone numbers and e-mail addresses along with your submission. Please submit the paper to:

The Organizers

Summer Conference on Game Theory
Center for Game Theory in Economics
State University of New York at Stony Brook
Stony Brook, NY 11794-4384 USA
email: gametheory@notes.cc.sunysb.edu
fax: 1-516-632-7535.

I would like to encourage electronic submission. As the abstract will be eventually included in a book of abstracts an ascii version (including TeX markup of notation if you need) would be easiest to use. Papers in postscript or pdf form are also easy to process. If you want to submit your paper in some other form please do so and if I can't process it I'll ask you for a hard copy. If your paper is available to be downloaded from some web site please include the web site and I shall include that information in the preliminary program. If submitting electronically please also send a copy of you submission directly to j.hillas@auckland.ac.nz as well as to the email address given above.

The official DEADLINE for receiving submissions is March 31, 2000. Please observe this deadline so that talks may be scheduled in the most appropriate manner. The final schedule will be announced around the middle of May. I would like however to work on a preliminary (and partial) schedule in January. If your plans allow you to make a decision by then I'd like to encourage you to submit your paper or abstract by early January 2000.

I would also like to encourage the submission of work that applies game theory to problems in economics, political science, or other fields. Over the 10 years that it has run the conference has become more theoretical in its emphasis, and its image has perhaps become more theoretical than the reality. The organisers are keen to redress this and we welcome submissions of applied work.

If you have any questions about program details, please contact me (email: j.hillas@auckland.ac.nz). For any questions pertaining to accommodation, travel arrangements, and other logistics, please contact Andreas Broscheid (email: gametheory@notes.cc.sunysb.edu). In due course further details will be available at the web site of the Center for Game Theory in Economics at the URL http://walras.economics.sunysb.edu/center.gametheory/

Fourth Conference on
"Logic and the Foundations of the Theory of Games
and Decisions"
(LOFT4) ICER, Torino (Italy), June 29 - July 2, 2000

Organizers

Giacomo BONANNO (University of California Davis, U.S.A.)
Wiebe van der HOEK (University of Utrecht, Holland).

Aims of the conference

This is the fourth in a series of conferences on the applications of logical methods to foundational issues in the theory of (individual and interactive) decision-making. The previous three conferences took place at CIRM (Marseille, France) in January 1994 and at ICER (Torino, Italy) in December 1996 and December 1998. LOFT4 has been planned in cooperation with the TARK community and it is hoped that it will attract researchers who have participated in past TARK conferences. The aim of the LOFT conferences is to promote exchange across different disciplines. The organizers express their preference for papers which bring together the work and problems of several fields, such as game and decision theory, logic, computer science and artificial intelligence, philosophy, cognitive psychology, mathematics and mind sciences. The complete programs of the last two LOFT conferences are available at:

Among the topics of particular relevance are:

• Modal logic: multi-agent logic, temporal logic, dynamic logic, probabilistic and multi-valued logic, logic of belief revision, the logical-omniscience problem.
• Game and decision theoretic applications of modal logic: epistemic foundations of decision theory, epistemic foundations of equilibrium concepts in games, reasoning and belief revision in extensive-form games, applications of complexity theory.
• Learning and information-processing models: economic aspects of information processing, learning in game-theoretic contexts, inductive learning and inductive decision making.

Format of the conference and submission

The four-day conference will include 11 invited lectures and 11 contributed papers. Submission for contributed papers are encouraged from all those who are working in one or more of the broad areas above, whatever their professional fields. Potential contributors should send one copy of an extended abstract (not more than 3 pages) to:

The Organizing Committee, LOFT4

Complete papers are also welcome, but they will not be considered if they are not accompanied by an extended abstract. If not obvious from the abstract, the authors should mention whether and how their work fits the list of topics suggested above.

The deadline for submission is February 15, 2000, and authors will be notified of acceptance decisions by March 31, 2000. People presenting contributed papers will have their local expenses (accommodation and meals) covered by ICER, while they are expected to rely on other sources for travel expenses. Further details will be communicated following acceptance of the papers. Those who wish to participate in the conference without submitting a paper should express their interest to the Organizing Committee at ICER.

Proceedings

Selected papers from the previous LOFT conferences were published (or are forthcoming) in special issues of Theory and Decision, Mathematical Social Sciences, in a volume by Kluwer Academic Press and in Games and Economic Behavior. It is the intention of the organizers to publish a selection of the papers presented at LOFT4 in one or more special issue of a suitable journal. Details will be given at the conference.
