AlgoSyn ("Algorithmic synthesis of reactive and discrete-continuous
systems") is a Research Training Group funded by DFG. The AlgoSyn Fall
School 2013 brings together PhD Students and postdoctoral researchers
who work in the field of algorithmic game theory, synthesis and
learning. Invited speakers will give mini-courses on different topics in
the focus of current research. Featured talks complete the program.


=== Topic of the School ===

The aim of the Fall School is to provide the participants with a series
of in-depth talks on topics such as mechanism design, auctions and
algorithmic learning in verification. The talks will cover both basic
concepts, as well as advanced topics in the respective areas including
fundamental results.


=== Lectures ===

* Constantinos Daskalakis (Massachusetts Institute of Technology)
Title: Computational Complexity in Games and Auctions
* Madhusudan Parthasarathy (University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign)
Title: Automata and Learning Based Methods in Software Verification
* Rakesh Vohra (Kellogg School of Management)
Title: Linear Programming and Mechanism Design


=== Featured Talks ===

* Paul Spirakis (University of Liverpool and CTI)
Title: Evolutionary Antagonism in Networks
* Wolfgang Thomas (RWTH Aachen University)
Title: Games, Synthesis, Verification and Learning: A Bird's Eye

=== Program ===

Each speaker will give a mini-course on his selected topic, divided into
three slots. The slots will be of 60 - 90 minutes, each with room for
questions and discussions.
On Thursday evening all school participants are invited to a dinner in
the city.
The school will end on Friday 23rd of October at 4:30 pm.
