DESCRIPTION:<p>Fundamental results in the mathematical theory of games were obtained early on in the 20th century by Zermelo\, Borel\, and von Neumann\; after the publication of &nbsp\;Theory of Games and Economic Behavior in1944\, it quickly became of fundamental importance to economic theory\, being applied later on to other fields such as biology\, while in philosophy David Lewis&rsquo\; <em>Convention</em> was an important early application. Games also played a significant role within mathematics\, especially in model theory with\, e.g.\, the back-and-forth games\, and with the work of Lorenzen in the 1950s and Hintikka in the 1960s\, game semantics emerged\, again leading to important developments in philosophy\, e.g.\, within epistemic logic. Showing again the extraordinary fruitfulness and interdisciplinary nature of the concept of game\, game semantics has become since a paradigm in logic and in computer science where it have been used inter alia to model interactive computation and multi-agents systems\, as well as in linguistics and argumentation theory. The consequences on philosophy of these numerous developments need to be explored. In an interdisciplinary spirit\, this conference will bring together a number of key contributors to and welcomes papers on the concept of games\, game theory and game semantics\, with applications in economics\, logic\, computer science\, linguistics\, argumentation theory\, and philosophy.</p>\n<p><strong>Programme</strong></p>\n<p><br><strong>Friday</strong><br><strong>May 18</strong><br><br>9.15-10.00<br>Registration<br><br>10.00-10.15<br>Opening (Small Aula)<br><br>10.15-11.45<br>Public Opening Keynote Lecture (Small Aula)<br>Gabriel Sandu\,<br>University of Helsinki\,<br>Finland<br><br>Games and signalling in IF logic<br><br>11.45-12.30<br>Lunch<br><br>12.30-14.30<br>SESSIONS of Contributed Papers (Small Aula)<br>Chair: Mathieu Marion<br><br>Virginie Fiutek &amp\;<br>Sonja Smets\, ILLC\, University of Amsterdam\, The Netherlands<br>Towards a Game Semantics for Defeasible Knowledge<br><br>Guglielmo Feis\, Universit&agrave\; degli Studi di Milano\, Milano\, Italy<br>Umberto Sconfienza\, London School of Economics\, London\, UK<br>Structuring constitutive rules: a parametric shift<br><br>Daniele Porello\, ILLC\, University of Amsterdam\, The Netherlands<br>Game Semantics for Pragmatism<br><br>14.30-15.00<br>Coffee Break<br><br>15.00-17.00<br>SESSIONS of Contributed Papers (Small Aula)<br>Chair: Alexandru Baltag<br><br>Ivan Mosca\, University of Turin\, Italy<br>Game Theory Games as Fiction Games<br><br>Pierre Cardascia\, University of Lille\, France<br>The translation dialogue/trace of program and its<br>philosophical consequences<br><br>Christophe Fouquer&eacute\;\, Universit&eacute\; Paris-13\, France<br>Myriam Quatrini\, Universit&eacute\; Aix-Marseille\, France<br>Argumentation modeling in Ludics<br><br>17.00-17.30<br>Coffee Break<br><br>17.30 -19.00<br>SESSIONS of Contributed Papers (Small Aula)<br>Chair: Giorgi Japaridze<br><br>Karine Fradet\, Universit&eacute\; de Montr&eacute\;al\, Canada<br>Cooperation in the iterated prisoner's dilemma<br><br>Laurent Keiff\, CNRS\, Universit&eacute\; de Lille\, France<br>Dialogues on Universal Satisfiability<br><br><strong>Saturday</strong><br><strong>May 19</strong><br><br>All sessions to take place in the Small Aula of the Main Building<br><br>10.00-12.00<br>Chair: Ahti-Veikko Pietarinen<br><br>10.00-11.00<br>John Woods\, University of British Columbia\, Canada &amp\; King's College London\, UK<br>Ancestor Worship in the Logic of Games: How Foundational were Aristotle&rsquo\;s Contributions?<br><br>11.00-12.00<br>Giorgi Japaridze\, Villanova University\, USA<br>&ldquo\;Give Caesar what belongs to Caesar&rdquo\;<br><br>12.00-13.00<br>Lunch<br><br>13.00-15.00<br>Chair: Alain Lecomte<br><br>13.00-14.00<br>Robin Clark\, University of Pennsylvania\, USA<br>Language Games in Populations. &nbsp\;The Dynamics of Reputation<br><br>14.00-15.00<br>Mehrnoosh Sadrzadeh\, University of Oxford\, UK<br>Monoidal and Compact Interaction Diagrams in Reasoning about Natural Language<br><br>15.00-15.30<br>Coffee Break<br><br>15.30-17.30<br>Chair: Mehrnoosh Sadrzadeh<br><br>15.30-16.30<br>Alexandru Baltag\, University of Amsterdam\, The Netherlands<br>Playing with Knowledges: Connections between Game Theory and ``Soft" Formal Epistemology<br><br>16.30-17.30<br>Helge R&uuml\;ckert\, University of Mannheim\, Germany<br>Dialogues for Donkey Sentences<br><br>20.00<br>Conference dinner<br><br><strong>Sunday</strong><br><strong>May 20</strong><br><br>All sessions to take place in the Small Aula of the Main Building<br><br>10.00-12.00<br>SYMPOSIUM: Game semantics and fuzzy logic<br>Chair: Ondrej Majer<br><br>Christian Ferm&uuml\;ller\, TU Wien\, Austria<br>Randomizing Gile&rsquo\;s Game for Fuzzy Quantification<br><br>Petr Cintula &amp\;<br>Ondrej Majer\, Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic\,<br>Czech Republic<br>Two kinds of game semantics for fuzzy logics<br><br>Tom&aacute\;&scaron\; Kroupa\, Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic\,<br>Czech Republic<br>Coalition Games and Lukaciewicz Calculus<br><br>12.00-13.00<br>Lunch<br><br>13.00-15.00<br>Chair: Helge R&uuml\;ckert<br><br>13.00-14.00<br>Alain Lecomte\, Universit&eacute\; Paris 8 Vincennes-Saint-Denis\, France<br>Ludics\, dialogue and inferentialism<br><br>14.00-14.30<br>Ahti-Veikko Pietarinen\, University of Helsinki\, Finland<br>Some pragmatic aspects of logic games<br><br>14 30-15 00<br>Mathieu Marion\, Universit&eacute\; du Qu&eacute\;bec &agrave\; Montr&eacute\;al\, Canada<br>Game semantics and the history of logic: the case of Greek dialectics<br><br>For more information\, please contact us at&nbsp\;<a#1155cc\;"  href="mailto:jurgis.skilters@lu.lv"  target="_blank">jurgis.skilters@lu.lv</a><br></p>\n<p>Registration:</p>\n<p><a#1155cc\;"  href="http://www.lu.lv/eng/research/conferences/2012/games/"  target="_blank">http://www.lu.lv/eng/research/conferences/2012/games/</a><br></p>\n<p>Program:<br><br></p>
