Conference on Decision and Game Theory for Security

2023 Conference on Decision and Game Theory for Security

The 14th Conference on Decision and Game Theory for Security (GameSec-23) will take place from October 18-20, 2023 in Avignon, France. With the rapid development of information, automation, and communication technology, the security of these emerging systems is more important now than ever. GameSec 2023 focuses on the protection of heterogeneous, large-scale, and dynamic cyber-physical systems as well as managing security risks faced by critical infrastructures through rigorous and practically relevant analytical methods. GameSec 2023 invites novel, high-quality theoretical and empirical contributions, which leverage decision theory and game theory to address security problems and related problems such as privacy, trust, or bias in emerging systems. The goal of the conference is to bring together academic, government, and industrial researchers in an effort to identify and discuss the major challenges and recent results that highlight the interdisciplinary connections between game theory, control, distributed optimization, adversarial reasoning, machine learning, mechanism design, behavioral analysis, risk assessments, and security, reputation, trust and privacy problems.

GameSec-23 is planned to be a physical event. Requests of remote attendance, e.g., due to visa issues or travel restrictions, may be accommodated if necessary. For details on up-to-date Covid regulations click here.

NEW for GameSec 2023
- a rebuttal period of time such that middle papers can be accepted as full paper at the conference,
- some rejected papers will have the opportunity to be presented at the conference as a poster,
- possibility to attend the conference online but only for the opening/closing session and the plenary sessions at a lower price.

Conference Topics include (but are not restricted to):

GameSec solicits research papers, which report original results and have neither been published nor submitted for publication elsewhere, on the following and other closely related topics:

  • Game theory, control, and mechanism design for security and privacy
  • Decision making and decision theory for cybersecurity and security requirements engineering
  • Security and privacy for the Internet-of-Things, cyber-physical systems, cloud computing, resilient control systems, and critical infrastructure
  • Pricing, economic incentives, security investments, and cyber insurance for dependable and secure systems
  • Risk assessment and security risk management
  • Security and privacy of wireless and mobile communications, including user location privacy
  • Socio-technological and behavioral approaches to security
  • Empirical and experimental studies with game, control, or optimization theory-based analysis for security and privacy
  • Behavioral science, decision making, heuristics, and biases
  • Modeling and analysis of deception for security within a game-theoretic framework
  • Adversarial or strategic machine learning and the role of AI in system security
  • Learning in games for security (new topic this year)

Conference Sponsors and Supporters

We invite you to participate in the sponsor program for GameSec-23. The conference will be held in person October 18-20, 2023. GameSec is an annual international conference that started in 2010 and it focuses on the protection of heterogeneous, large-scale, and dynamic cyber-physical systems as well as managing security risks faced by critical infrastructures through rigorous and practically relevant analytical methods, especially game-theoretic and decision-theoretic methods. The proceedings of the conference are published by Springer.

GameSec conference attracts 25-50 students, researchers, and practitioners every year from all around the world. Your participation in the GameSec sponsor program will give you visibility to this diverse group that has interest and expertise in security, privacy, game theory, decision theory, and more.

Sponsor benefits include:

  • Sponsor company name and logo will be displayed on website and at the venue
  • Opportunity for sponsored awards (best paper and best paper honorable mention)
  • Opportunity to provide named travel grant
  • Acknowledgment in opening talk and closing remarks
