                                             CALL   FOR  PAPERS
                         ************************************************



OBJECTIVES

The aim of the symposium is to bring together researchers from academia
and industry which are actively working in the fields of Games, Automata,
Logics, and Formal Verification. The idea is to cover an ample spectrum of
themes, ranging from theory to concrete applications, and to stimulate
cross-fertilization. Papers focused on formal methods are especially
welcome. Authors are invited to submit original research or tool papers on
any relevant
topic in these areas. Papers discussing new ideas that are at an early
stage of
development are also welcome.

INDICATIVE LIST OF TOPICS

The topics covered by the conference include, but are not limited to, the
following:

Automata Theory
Automated Deduction
Logical aspects of Computational Complexity
Concurrency and Distributed computation
Decision Procedures
Deductive, Compositional, and Abstraction Techniques for Verification
Finite Model Theory
First-order and Higher-order Logics
Formal Languages
Formal Methods for Complex Systems (e.g., Interactive Systems, Systems
Biology)
Games and Automata for Verification
Game Semantics
Game Theory
Hybrid, Embedded, and Mobile Systems Verification
Logics of Programs
Modal and Temporal Logics
Model Checking
Models of Reactive and Real-Time Systems
Program Analysis and Software Verification
Specification and Verification of Finite and Infinite-state Systems
Synthesis and Execution

PAPER SUBMISSION

Submitted papers should not exceed fourteen (14) pages using EPTCS format,
be unpublished and contain original research. For papers reporting
experimental results, authors are encouraged to make their data available
with their submission.
Submissions must be in  PDF or PS format and will be handled via EasyChair.

PROCEEDINGS

The proceedings will be published by Electronic Proceedings in Theoretical
Computer Science.
A special issue of a major international journal to publish an extended
and revised version of the best symposium papers is also under
consideration. Revised versions of the selected papers from the last
GandALF (GandALF 2010) will be published as a special issue of the
International Journal of Foundation of Computer Science
(http://www.cs.ucsb.edu/~ijfcs/).
