The purpose of SAGT is to bring together researchers from Computer
Science, Economics and Mathematics to present and discuss original
research at the intersection of Algorithms and Game Theory.


------------------------------------------------------------------
SCOPE
-----

Authors are invited to submit previously unpublished work for
possible presentation at the conference. New foundational work is
solicited on topics including but not limited to:

- Solution Concepts in Game Theory
- Game Classes (e.g., Bimatrix, Potential, Bayesian)
- Exact and Approximate Computation of Equilibria
- Convergence and Learning in Games
- Complexity Classes in Game Theory
- Algorithmic Aspects of Fixed-Point Theorems
- Mechanisms, Incentives and Coalitions
- Cost-Sharing Algorithms and Analysis
- Computational Aspects of Market Equilibria
- Computational Problems in Economics, Finance, Decision
Theory and Pricing
- Auction Algorithms and Analysis
- Price of Anarchy and its Relatives
- Representations of Games and their Complexity
- Economic Aspects of Distributed Computing and the Internet
- Network Formation on the Internet
- Congestion, Routing and Network Design Games
- Game-Theoretic Approaches to Networking Problems


------------------------------------------------------------------
PROGRAM
-------

The program will include both invited lectures and regular
presentations. Each regular presentation will be accompanied by a
paper in the symposium proceedings.

SUBMISSIONS
-----------

A submission must report on original research, which has not
previously appeared, and which is not concurrently being submitted
to a journal or another conference with published proceedings. Any
partial overlap with a published or concurrently submitted paper
must be clearly indicated.

Authors are invited to submit an extended abstract of no more than
12 pages. Additional details may be included in a clearly marked
appendix, which will be read at the discretion of the Program
Committee. It is strongly encouraged that submissions follow the
format of LNCS (Lecture Notes in Computer Science) of Springer.
Submissions deviating significantly from these guidelines may be
rejected without consideration of their merits. Submissions outside
the scope of the symposium will be rejected without review.

Submissions are to be made electronically, following the
guidelines on the symposium web page. Authors unable to submit
electronically should contact the Program Chair to receive
instructions.

All submissions will be rigorously peer-reviewed and evaluated on
the basis of the quality of their contribution, originality,
soundness and significance.


------------------------------------------------------------------
PUBLICATION
-----------

The symposium proceedings will be published by Springer in its
LNCS series (Lecture Notes in Computer Science); they will be
available for distribution at the conference. Each paper in the
proceedings will be restricted to a maximum of 12 pages (in LNCS
format). Extended and revised versions of selected papers will be
considered for a Special Issue of the "Theory of Computing Systems"
journal.
