****************************************************************************************** AAAI 2012 Spring Symposium on Game Theory for Security, Sustainability and Health March 26–28, 2012, Stanford University, USA. [October 7, 2011 - Submission deadline] Symposium Objective: There is a large and growing interest in applying game theory to security, health, and sustainability; which are grand challenges for engineering in the 21st century. In fact, the last five years have seen game theory based systems developed and applied to real-world domains. For example, software assistants have been developed for randomized patrol planning for the Los Angeles International Airport police, the Federal Air Marshal Service and the United States Transportation Security Administration. Also game theory has been utilized for decentralized control, operation and management of future generation electricity. While there has been significant progress, there still exist many major challenges facing the design of effective approaches to deal with the difficulties in security, health and sustainability. Addressing these challenges requires collaboration from different communities including artificial intelligence, game theory, operations research, social science, and psychology. This symposium is structured to encourage a lively exchange of ideas between members from these communities. Topics of Interest: Game theory foundations Algorithms for scaling to very large games Human factors and intelligent user interfaces Agent/human interaction for preference elicitation and optimization Risk analysis Decision making under uncertainty Multi-agent simulation Software development Modeling and Evaluation Distributed control in energy systems Submission Requirements: Full papers (8 pages maximum) on completed original work and short papers (4 pages maximum) on ongoing work or descriptions of problems and proposed approaches/solutions are invited. We also welcome survey papers and demos of practical systems. Submit papers in AAAI-style via Easychair. Note that according to AAAI publication policy, papers presented in the symposium are allowed to be submitted later to a conference/journal. Important Dates: October 7, 2011 - Submissions due November 4, 2011 - Acceptance/rejection notices sent with instructions for final copies of accepted papers January 20, 2012 - Final papers due February 17, 2012 - Invited participants registration deadline March 2, 2012 - Final (open) registration deadline March 26 to 28, 2012 - Symposium at Stanford University, California.
