\n Fundamental results in the mathematical th eory of games were obtained early on in the 20th c entury by Zermelo, Borel, and von Neumann; after t he publication of Theory of Games and Economic Beh avior by von Neumann & Morgenstern in 1944, it quickly became of fundamental importance to econo mic theory, being applied later on to other fields such as biology, while in philosophy David Lewis& sup1; Convention was an important early applicatio n. Games also played a significant role within mat hematics, especially in model theory with, e.g., t he back-and-forth games, and with the work of Lore nzen in the 1950s and Hintikka in the 1960s, game semantics emerged, again leading to important deve lopments in philosophy, e.g., within epistemic log ic. Showing again the extraordinary fruitfulness a nd interdisciplinary nature of the concept of game , game semantics has become since a paradigm in lo gic and in computer science where it have been use d inter alia to model interactive computation and multi-agents systems, as well as in linguistics an d argumentation theory. The consequences on philos ophy of these numerous developments need to be exp lored.
\nIn an interdisciplinary spi rit, this conference will bring together a number of key contributors to and welcomes papers on the concept of games, game theory and game semantics, with applications in economics, logic, computer sc ience, linguistics, argumentation theory, and phil osophy.
