Fifth Spanish Meeting on Game Theory
&
European Voting Games

Seville, July 1-3, 2002

General Information

The number of Spanish game theorists has increased considerably in recent years. In 1994 it was decided to hold a Spanish Meeting on Game Theory every two years. The meetings in Bilbao (1994), Santiago de Compostela (1996) Barcelona (1998) and Valencia (2000), were a great success, with more than 100 presentations in each of them. This shows the good health of the many Spanish research groups in Game Theory and their growing international links. Moreover, Games 2000, the First Conference of the International Game Theory Society, was in Bilbao.

The Fifth Spanish Meeting will take place in Seville on July 1-3, 2002. The meeting continues the series of the alternate Italian and Spanish conferences on Game Theory. The Spanish Meeting is open to participants from all countries. Its areas of interest cover all aspects of Game Theory and its applications. The language of the Meeting is English, although there will be some sessions in Spanish.

The conclusion of the Conference of Representatives of the Governments of the Member States opens the way for enlargement of the European Union. With ratification of the Treaty of Nice, the European Union will have completed the institutional changes necessary for the accession of new Member States. During the Fifth Spanish Meeting on Game Theory, the workshop European Voting Games devoted to European Union decision-making, will take place.

The invited speakers are Steve Brams, Jacqueline Morgan, Guillermo Owen, and Stef Tijs.

The local organizers are Jesús Mario Bilbao and Francisco R. Fernández.
