Call for nominations: Game Theory and Computer Science Prize At the recent game theory conference in Jerusalem in honor of Ehud Kalai, a new Prize in Game Theory and Computer Science was announced by the Game Theory Society in recognition of Ehud's role in promoting this exciting new area of research. The prize will be awarded at each of the next three World Congresses to the person who has published the best paper at the interface of game theory and computer science in recent years. Preference will be given to a person who is 45 or less at the time of the Congress, but this is not a binding constraint. The amount of the Prize will be $2000 plus travel expenses to attend the Congress. The Society invites nominations for the first recipient of the prize, which will be awarded at the upcoming World Congress at Northwestern University (July 13-17, 2008). Each nomination should include a full copy of the paper (in pdf format) plus an extended abstract, not exceeding two pages, that explains the nature and importance of the contribution. Nominations should be emailed to the Society's Secretary-Treasurer, Eric van Damme ([EMAIL PROTECTED]<mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>), by 15 February 2008. The selection will be made by a committee appointed by the President, and the result will be announced in April 2008.
