Workshop on Solution Concepts for Extensive Games

Aarhus University, Aarhus, Denmark

June 22-25, 2010

Solution concepts for extensive form games is a classical topic of game theory. In recent years, the topic has also been attracting attention from various subcommunities of the theoretical computer science community. This workshop brings together researchers from game theory, economics, cryptography, algorithms and formal methods.

Topics to be discussed include

• Game theoretic analysis and solution concepts for cryptographic protocols,
• Computational properties of solution concepts (e.g., algorithms and computational hardness of equilibrium refinements),
• Bounded and computational rationality in extensive games,
• Solution concepts for extensive form games from the perspective of epistemic game theory,
• Solution concepts for infinite duration games (stochastic games, recursive games, reachability games etc.).

Confirmed speakers are

• Geir Asheim (University of Oslo),
• Christian W. Bach (Maastricht University)
• Jing Chen (M.I.T.),
• Edith Elkind (Singapore),
• Kousha Etessami (University of Edinburgh),
• Janos Flesch (Maastricht University)
