GameSec 2024

Conference on Game Theory and AI for Security

October 16-18, 2024, New York, USA

Call for Papers

The 15th Conference on Game Theory and AI for Security (GameSec-24) will take place from October 16-18, 2024 in New York, USA. With the rapid development of information, automation, and communication technology, the security of these emerging systems is more important now than ever. GameSec 2024 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 2024 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, AI, control, distributed optimization, adversarial reasoning, machine learning, mechanism design, behavioral analysis, risk assessments, and security, reputation, trust and privacy problems.

Call for papers is available for download [PDF].

The conference encourages paper submission on applications of large foundation models in AI, including LLMs, to security and privacy problems as well as adversarial attacks on such models or limitations of such models in complex security domains.

Call for Poster Submissions and Participation

The poster session will showcase recent advances in both foundational and applied AI, game theory and security. The session is intended to create awareness of the breadth of ongoing AI and game theory research efforts and create new synergies at the intersection of disciplines.

Poster Submission Guidelines
Submissions are eligible to students, faculty, and industry professionals. Abstracts should convey a scientific result and may be research that is in progress or recently published. The presenter should be identified within the submission process. Presenters of selected abstracts must register to attend the conference.

An abstract submission is required. The 1-2 pages extended abstract should be a brief and concise summary of the background for the study, objectives, method and result(s), as well as conclusions. The submission should not include tables or figures. Abstracts will be peer-reviewed by a technical program committee and accepted posters will be notified on a rolling basis beginning September 1, 2024.

Accepted posters must have at least one author registered and presented at the GameSec poster session.

All poster submissions should be submitted through OpenReview. Submissions can be (but do not have to be) anonymized.

Registration details can be found here.
