IWIGP 2011

International Workshop on Interactions, Games and Protocols (iWIGP 2011)

27th March 2011, Saarbrücken, Germany

http://react.cs.uni-saarland.de/iWIGP2011/

A satellite event of ETAPS 2011 (from 28th March 2011 to 1st April 2011) in Saarbrücken, Germany

Duration

1 day, 27th March 2011

Content --- This workshop aims at the interrelation between interactions, games and protocols. How does computer science deal with nondeterministic interactions where the actions a system takes are not (completely) determined by the interactions the system is involved in? In computer science, nondeterministic interactions are usually described by protocols. However, these interactions can also be viewed as games. As to be expected, games have become an increasingly important modeling tool for computer science where nondeterministic interactions are involved – from foundations in game semantics and reactive systems to applications in communication protocols and electronic business applications. The goal of this workshop is to bring researchers from industry and academia together and to explore how a better understanding of the interrelation between interactions, games and protocols leads to better-designed and more reliable nondeterministic interacting systems. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to


 * models for interactive protocols
 * models for user interaction
 * business applications like ERP, manufacturing systems, supply chain management, etc.
 * workflow
 * game representations
 * test and verification of interactive systems
 * synthesis of control strategies
 * relation between games and processes
 * relation between protocols and processes
 * parallel and distributed systems
 * autonomic systems
 * service modeling, collaboration and orchestration
 * communication or interaction architectures
 * process oriented architectures
 * agent based computing
 * context aware computing

Adressees - We invite scientific contributions which explore new aspects of the interrelation between interactions, games and protocols, both from a theoretical and a practical perspective. We encourage submissions that connect theory and practice.

Important dates ---
 * 2010-11-28 Submission of workshop contributions
 * 2011-01-16 Notification of acceptance/rejection of workshop contributions
 * 2011-02-10 Submission of print-ready contributions for the proceedings

Contributions - All contributions have to be electronically submitted as PDF documents through easychair (http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=iwigp2011) until October 31, 2010. They must be formated according to the guidelines of the EPTCS macro package (http://style.eptcs.org/) and may not exceed 15 pages. For publishing accepted contributions the LaTeX sources are necessary (see EPTCS info page http://info.eptcs.org/).

The submissions will be refereed. A publication as EPTCS (http://www.eptcs.org) is planned. At least one author is expected to register for the workshop and to give a talk about the contribution.

Participation - For participation at the workshop, registration at ETAPS 2011 is required (http://www.etaps.org).
