GameSec 2023

Conference on Decision and Game Theory for Security

October 18-20, 2023, Avignon, France

Call for Papers

The 14th Conference on Decision and Game Theory for Security (GameSec-23) will take place from October 18-20, 2023 in Avignon, France. With the rapid development of information, automation, and communication technology, the security of these emerging systems is more important now than ever. GameSec 2023 focuses on protecting heterogeneous, large-scale, and dynamic cyber-physical systems and managing security risks faced by critical infrastructures through rigorous and practically relevant analytical methods. GameSec 2023 invites novel, high-quality theoretical and empirical contributions, which leverage decision theory and game theory to address security problems and related problems such as privacy, trust, or bias in emerging systems. The goal of the conference is to bring together academic, government, and industrial researchers in an effort to identify and discuss the major challenges and recent results that highlight the interdisciplinary connections between game theory, control, distributed optimization, adversarial reasoning, machine learning, mechanism design, behavioral analysis, risk assessments, and security, reputation, trust and privacy problems.

GameSec-23 is planned to be a physical event. Requests of remote attendance, e.g., due to visa issues or travel restrictions, may be accommodated if necessary.
