CALL FOR PARTICIPATION - GandALF 2020
https://di.ulb.ac.be/verif/gandalf2020/
*****************************************************************************

The Eleventh International Symposium on Games, Automata, Logics, and Formal Verification will take place on September 21 and 22, 2020.

The aim of GandALF 2020 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 applications, and stimulate cross-fertilization.

Due to the outbreak of COVID-19 and the current difficulties for traveling, it has been decided to organize the symposium online. The organization will be as follows:

-the authors of accepted papers have recorded a 25 minutes presentation of their paper — An award will be attributed to the best video by the PC members of Gandalf

-these presentations will be made available to the registered participants to the conference a few days before the conference — To favor interactions, registered participants will be encouraged to post questions to the authors on a dedicated slack channel

-four invited talks will be given **live** during the online conference that will take place on Zoom:
	-Monday September 21, 2:00pm-3:00pm : Prof. Guillermo Perez (U Antwerpen, BE)
 Regret Minimization in Discounted-Sum Games
	-Monday September 21, 4:30pm-5:30pm : Prof. Adnan Darwiche (UCLA, USA)
 Three Modern Roles for Logic in AI
	-Tuesday September 22, 2:00pm-3:00pm : Prof. Erika Abraham (RWTH, DE)
 Probabilistic Hyperproperties
	-Tuesday September 22, 4:30pm-5:30pm : Prof. Jan Křetínský (TUM, DE)
 Approximating Values of Generalized-Reachability Stochastic Games

-each invited talk will be followed by a Q/A session on papers grouped by topics. Each such session will open with 5 minutes short presentations of each of the papers of the session by one of their author and replies to questions sent by registered participants. Further interactions will follow the answers by the authors to those questions. All the talks and the Q/A sessions will be posted on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCI_M8J35gzkXIy7l4jnodWQ/
