[DMANET] GIPSy 2011: Games, Logics and Security, 25-27 Oct 2011, Rennes, France

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


*** CALL FOR PAPER and PARTICIPATION ***


GIPSy 2011


Workshop on Games, Logics and Security (2nd edition)


Rennes, France

25-27 October 2011


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


Security and privacy problems in computer networks and mobile
applications often stem from the interaction between agents of the
network (which can be individuals as well as devices or softwares acting
autonomously). Modeling the interaction between agents is therefore
essential to address security problems appropriately. Game theory and
logic are the most prominent frameworks for the formal treatment of
interaction. They permit not only to model and represent this
interaction between agents, but they also lead to the development of
applicable algorithms and decision procedures. In the past two decades,
a number of logical frameworks and game-theoretic approaches have been
proposed to model and analyze computer networks from the security point
of view, sometimes resorting to non-classical logics (such as epistemic
or intuitionistic logics).


The main goal of this workshop is to gather researchers interested in
games, logic and security (in a broad sense), and to offer a privileged
forum to present their work and exchange ideas on these topics.


The following invited tutorials are scheduled:

Gilles Barthe, IMDEA Software Institute Research, Madrid

Probabilistic Reasoning about Differential Privacy

Anne Broadbent, Institute for Quantum Computing & Department of
Combinatorics and Optimization, University of Waterloo

Quantum Nonlocal Games and Cryptography

Jean-Pierre Hubaux, EPFL Lausanne

Designing Network Security and Privacy Mechanisms: How Game Theory Can Help

Mark Ryan, University of Birmingham
Verifying Real-Life Protocols: Theory and Two Cases

Moshe Vardi, Department of Computer Science, Rice University

The Rise and Fall of LTL


Apart from the invited talks, participants have the opportunity to give
short talks (approximately 20 minutes). Selection will be made on the
basis of an extended abstract of at most 2 pages.


The registration is free but mandatory. Lunches are included in the
registration.


Important dates:

- Submission deadline: 9th October 2011

- Notification to authors: 11th October 2011

- Deadline for registration: 13th October 2011

- Workshop: 25th-27th October 2011


We will be able to cover part of travel and accommodation costs for a
limited number of participants (especially students). For information,
