Hamalainen and Harri Ehtamo Systems Analysis Laboratory, Helsinki University of Technology ISDG@HUT.FI xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Dear Dynamic Game Theorist, This is the twelfth issue of the Society's electronic newsletter. The basic minimum work principle in editing this e-letter is that the READERS send important notes and information about symposia, conferences and workshops of dynamic games, as well as abstracts of Ph.D. theses, papers and books, which they want to be included in the newsletter. The format is described below. We hope that no retyping will be needed so please follow the instructions and sample shown below carefully. The news should be concise to keep the newsletter readable. Requests for more complete information about any news item should be directed to its contributor. We appreciate any comments and suggestions that you may have on this e-letter. Next issue is planned to be sent out in March. Looking forward to receiving your news contributions. Raimo P. Hamalainen and Harri Ehtamo xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Contributed by the Editors January 12 MODEL FOR NEWS SUBMISSIONS Maximum line length is 72 characters. Place the text between two lines of x:ses. The first line should state "Contributed by" and followed by the contributor's name, in brackets and the date. Then there should be a title line and the text. This info block should be sent to ISDG at HUT.FI xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Contributed by the Editors January 12 The Editors wish the readers of the ISDG E-LETTER Happy New Year 1994. This year is the 10th Anniversary of the Systems Analysis Laboratory. We are still going strong! xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Contributed by Victor Zakharov Nov. 4 Forthcoming 1993| INTERNATIONAL YEAR-BOOK OF GAME THEORY AND APPLICATIONS EDITED BY Leon Petrosjan (St.-Petersburg Univ., Russia) and Vladimir V.Mozalov (Inst.Natural Resources, Russia) ASSOCIATE EDITORS: T.Basar (Univ.

Division). Three types of papers will be published: *Research papers reporting original research results *Survey articles embracing a broad area in game theory and associated areas *Articles devoted to various decisions of real games. In addition, book reviews (no more than two manuscript pages) are also welcome. This serial will consist of original unpublished works on theory of dynamic games, search games, applications of game theoretic methods in ecology and economics with some adjacent problems. Accepted languages are English and Russian. GTA is financially supported by Russian Fundamental Research Foundation (project N 93-011-1714) CONTENTS Preface (L.A.Petrosjan and V.V. Mazalov).
