GameSec 2012 - The Third Conference on Decision and Game Theory for Security

Budapest, Hungary, November 5-6, 2012 -- www.gamesec-conf.org

***

GameSec 2012, the Third Conference on Decision and Game Theory for Security, will take place in Budapest, Hungary, which is commonly regarded as one of the most beautiful and vibrant cities in Europe.

The conference will explore security as a multifaceted economic problem by considering the complexities of the underlying technical infrastructure, and human and social factors. Securing resources involves decision making on multiple levels and multiple time scales, given the limited resources available to both malicious attackers and administrators defending networked systems.

The GameSec conference aims to bring together researchers who are working on the theoretical foundations and behavioral aspects of enhancing security capabilities in a principled manner. Previous GameSec contributions included analytic models based on game, information, communication, optimization, decision, and control theories that were applied to diverse security topics. In addition, we welcome research that highlights the connection between economic incentives and real world security, reputation, trust and privacy problems.

You are invited to join us at GameSec 2012 for two days this November at Budapest, Hungary.

GameSec 2012 features an exciting technical program (including 10 full papers and 8 short papers), academic and industry keynotes, a poster session, and a social event.
