AGT/COMSOC program in Singapore

This winter, Institute for Mathematical Sciences (Singapore) will host a 2-month long program on algorithmic game theory and computational social choice, organized by Ning Chen (NTU) and Edith Elkind (NTU). The program includes three workshops - a mini-workshop on mechanism design (Jan 10-11), a week-long workshop on algorithmic game theory (Jan 14-18), and a week-long workshop on computational social choice (Jan 20-25) - as well as longer stays by some of the invited researchers.  A graduate winter school will be run in parallel with the workshops. Confirmed speakers include Rakesh Vohra, Tim Roughgarden, Jason Hartline, Kevin Leyton-Brown, Ulle Endriss, Jerome Lang and Jean-Francois Laslier; see http://www2.ims.nus.edu.sg/Programs/013game/gen_visitorlist.php#overseas
for the complete list.

The workshops are open to participation. There is no registration fee, but the prospective visitors are asked to fill out the registration form at http://www2.ims.nus.edu.sg/Programs/013game/register.php and drop an e-mail to Edith and Ning (eelkind, ningc at ntu.edu.sg). Thanks to generous support from the IMS and the AI Journal, we will be able to provide financial support (accommodation and/or travel) to a limited number of graduate students and young scientists who wish to attend the winter school; the applications for financial support can be filled out at http://www2.ims.nus.edu.sg/Programs/013game/onlineform/register.php
