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. These can include work already submitted to other conferences. GAMES 2010 will also feature an open problem session, which will consist of very short (10 min) descriptions of interesting open problems about games.
