CONFERENCE GOALS

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.

Submitted papers will be evaluated based on their significance,
originality, technical quality, and exposition. They should clearly
establish the research contribution, their relevance to security and
privacy, and their relation to prior research. General theoretic
contributions are also welcome if they discuss potential scenarios of
application in the areas of security and privacy.
