Call for Papers

Annals of the International Society of Dynamic Games

From their first volume, which appeared in 1994, the Annals have mostly published peer reviewed papers as extended versions of those presented at the bi-annual Symposia of the International Society of Dynamic Games, with two early exceptions, which were invitation-based edited volumes on two different focus topics. In the intervening 30 years, publication possibilities for cutting edge research in dynamic games have expanded substantially. In line with this, the aims for the Annals have been revised and expanded as we enter the fourth decade of its existence.

The first aim is, as before, to publish original research in dynamic games and applications, mostly based on presentations made at the most recent International Symposium on Dynamic Games and Applications. This is now expanded allowing for the possibility of publishing extended versions of papers that have appeared elsewhere, provided that appropriate copyright release permissions are obtained. The second aim is to publish papers that bridge the gap between front line research and the general scientific public. That is, the Annals are looking for papers that provide context, either by providing an overview of some part of the current literature or by providing an introduction to a current field of research in tutorial form.

Submission deadline: 31 January 2025

Papers can be submitted to wagener@uva.nl

Editors: Guiomar Martín–Herrán, Arne Traulsen and Florian Wagener
