GAMES is the annual workshop of the Network. This year's GAMES workshop will be held at St. Anne's College Oxford. More information about the games workshop can be found at http://www.comlab.ox.ac.uk/games2010. 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 2010 will be an informal workshop, without proceedings. Its programme consists of six 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. GAMES 2010 will also feature an open problem session, which will consist of very short (10 min) descriptions of interesting open problems about games. INVITED TUTORIALS: - Roderick Bloem (TU Graz, Austria) - Thomas Colcombet (Liafa, Paris 7, France) - Fedor Fomin (Bergen, Norway) - Paul Goldberg (Liverpool, UK) - Tristan Tomala (HEC, Paris, France) - Wieslaw Zielonka (Liafa, Paris 7, France) SUPPORT: There are a limited number of student support packages aimed at students who cannot cover their own expenses. Those receiving such a package will have their accommodation for the nights of September 19th-September 22nd pre-paid and will receive a contribution toward travel costs. To apply please send an email to games2010@comlab.ox.ac.uk stating your affiliation, the name of your supervisor and your thesis topic.
