7 May 2008, Logic Tea, Canceled

8 May - 12 June 2008, Course on "The Epistemic Foundations of Game Theory", Professor Dov Samet
We would like to inform all ILLC members that our current Beth Chair, Professor Dov Samet, will be teaching a short course on "The Epistemic Foundations of Game Theory".
The course will be concerned with the definition and analysis of the notions of knowledge and belief in game theory focusing on the models used in game theory to describe knowledge and probabilistic belief. MSc students can obtain 3 ECTS credits for following this course. The course will start on May 8, 2008.

19 May 2008, Logic, Language, and Reasoning Seminar, Nina Gierasimczuk and Jakub Szymanik
We discuss the thesis formulated by Hintikka (1973) that there exist natural language sentences which require non-linear (non-Fregean) quantification to express their meaning. Our basic assumption is that a criterion for an adequacy of a meaning representation is its compatibility with sentence truth-conditions. Among others, it can be established by observing linguistic behavior of language users. We investigate sentences with non-Fregean combinations of quantifiers similar to Hintikka's examples and propose a novel alternative reading expressible by linear formulae. The interpretation seems intuitively very solid. Moreover, our empirical research shows that people tend to interpret Hintikka's like sentences in a way consistent with it. We will survey discussion on Hintikka's Thesis and present our experiments and results.

22 May 2008, Workshop "Writing Competitive ITN Proposals in the People Programme"
Bureau Kennistransfer of the Universiteit van Amsterdam and International Office of VU University Amsterdam organize a workshop "Writing Competitive ITN Proposals in the People Programme" for everybody involved in the Initial Training Network (ITN) proposal preparation process.
This workshop is all about making your Marie Curie ITN proposal the best competitive proposal. Competition for the ITN proposals is fierce, and it is not enough to provide good science! The training will be given by Lotte Jaspers (Yellow Research) and Alie Kwint, a highly experienced Marie Curie advisor. We will focus on the selection criteria Science, Training, Implementation and Impact.
The full text of this announcement and a registration form can be found at here. A program is available as a PDF document.

27 May 2008, Krzysztof Apt CWI fellow: Game Theory Day at CWI
Our part time professor Krzysztof Apt is appointed CWI Fellow on 1 April 2008. This title is given to outstanding members of CWI's research staff and offers them full freedom in research.
At CWI Apt is member of the research group Algorithms, Combinatorics and Optimization. In 2006 he was appointed member of the Academia Europæa. He is founder and past Editor-in-Chief of the ACM Transactions in Computational Logic. Apt published four books and numerous journal articles, in computer science, mathematical logic and, more recently, game theory.
In honour of his appointment, and to mark the growing interaction between economics and computer science, CWI organizes a symposium on game theory on 27 May 2008. Invited distinguished speakers on this Game Theory Day at CWI are Christos Papadimitriou (University of California, Berkeley) and our Beth Chair holder Dov Samet (Tel Aviv University).
