Combinatorial Game Theory Colloquium I

Combinatorial Game Theory (CGT) is a branch of mathematics that studies sequential games with perfect information. Combinatorial games include well-known rulesets like Amazons, Clobber, Domineering, Hackenbush, Konane, Nim, Octal Games, Wythoff's Nim. After John Conway's On Numbers and Games (1976), Elwyn Berlekamp, John Conway and Richard Guy published “the book” Winning Ways (1982). In that work, one can find a unified mathematical theory capable of analyzing a large class of rulesets. The books Lessons in Play (2007), by Michael Albert, David Wolfe, and Richard Nowakowski, and Combinatorial Game Theory (2013), by Aaron Siegel, are also mandatory reading.

Combinatorial Game Theory Colloquia will be held every two years, in Portugal. Ludus Association will organize in Lisbon the first edition of the CGTC, 21-23 January, 2015, with support from the Center for Applied Mathematics for Economic Forecasting and Decision-Making, the Interuniversity Center for the History of Science and Technology, the Center for Linear and Combinatorial Structures, the Agent Modeling Laboratory and the National Museum of Natural History and Science. The Colloquium will be hosted by the MUHNAC (for a map of its location press here).

CALL FOR PAPERS

Authors of significant original results presented at the conference are encouraged to submit them by June 30, 2015 to the International Journal of Game Theory. The papers will be refereed according to the normal high journal standards. Those articles that are accepted will be published together in a single issue of IJGT.
