Games in Design and Verification

Workshop co-located with CAV 2005
Edinburgh, Scotland, UK
July 12, 2005

The goal of the GDV 2005 workshop is to bring together researchers interested in the application of game theory to system design, analysis, and verification. Games provide a model for interaction that has found many applications both in the theory of systems (semantics of programming languages, semantics of interaction) and in the practice of system design (controller synthesis, modular verification, security analysis). This workshop aims at covering a spectrum from theoretical results to concrete applications. The topics of interest include: This is the second workshop on Games in Design and Verification. GDV 04 was co-located with CAV 2004 in Boston, Massachusetts. This time, we are planning to have two one-hour invited keynote talks, and two half-hour invited talks on recent advances in games in verification. In addition, we shall have technical sessions for contributed papers. Please send your technical submissions by email to rupak@cs.ucla.edu.
