9th Conference on Decision and Game Theory for Security

Abstract

Major Goals: The 9th annual GameSec conference was held in Seattle, WA on October 29-31, 2018. We had 72 attendees. ARO was one of the sponsors. Recent advances in information and communication technologies pose significant security challenges that impact all aspects of modern society. The 9th Conference on Decision and Game Theory for Security in Seattle, Washington, USA, focuses on protection of heterogeneous, large-scale and dynamic systems as well as managing security risks faced by critical infrastructures through rigorous and practically-relevant analytical methods. GameSec 2018 invites novel, high-quality theoretical and practical-relevant contributions, which apply decision and game theory, as well as related techniques such as distributed optimization, dynamic control and mechanism design, to build resilient, secure, and dependable networked systems. The goal of GameSec 2018 is to bring together academic and industrial researchers in an effort to identify and discuss the major technical challenges and recent results that highlight the connections between game theory, control, distributed optimization, economic incentives and real-world security, reputation, trust and privacy problems. Accomplishments: There were 28 regular and 8 poster papers for GameSec 2018. Springer LNCS printed a book on the papers and they appear in Springer LNCS volume 11199. Two outstanding paper awards were given. Two plenary lectures were given. A special session on Adversarial AI and a tutorial session on Game-Theoretic Security were presented. Many students attended the three-day conference. Forty-four people were in the Technical Program Committee. This committee handled the reviews for the submitted papers.
