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. Looking forward to receiving your news contributions. Happy Summer Time Raimo P. Hamalainen and Harri Ehtamo xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Contributed by the Editors June 7 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.

The First Volume in the New Series Annals of the International Society of Dynamic Games and a Special Price for ISDG Members! ADVANCES IN DYNAMIC GAMES AND APPLICATIONS T. Basar, University of Illinois & A. Haurie, University of Geneva, Switzerland (Eds.) This book, which is the first volume in the new series, Annals of the International Society of Dynamic Games, is based on selected presentations made at this symposium. It is, however, not simply a book of proceedings for a conference. Every paper that appears in this volume has passed through a very selective refereeing process, as in an archival technical journal. This makes this first volume of the Annals a quality publication that presents a timely account of the state of the art in this dynamic field. The papers which have been included in this volume attest to the vitality and diversity of ongoing research in dynamic games and applications. The reader will find here important contributions in the following five areas which also constitute the groups by which the twenty-three chapters have been organized: Robust control design and H infinity-theory; pursuit-evasion games and numerical schemes; numerical solutions of discrete time games; base on mathematical programming techniques; stochastic differential, sequential and Markov games; and applications in ecology, environmental management, and biology. With such a diversity of topics, this book should be a valuable resource for researchers in the field of dynamic games and all neighboring disciplines. 1994 420 pp. Hardcover $79.50 ISBN 0-8176-3691-9 Annals of the International Society of Dynamic Games SPECIAL PRICE FOR MEMBERS OF THE INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY OF DYNAMIC GAMES - $53.50!!!

Raghavan May 20 Announcement about an International Workshop on Game Theory By the University of Illinois at Chicago August 8th-12th in Chicago. The workshop will emphasize on four topics: 1. The extensions of the Shapley value. 2. Axiomatic and algorithmic aspects on the nucleolus. 3. Existence theorems and algorithms for stochastic games 4. Stochastic Game models. We look forward to your active support by participating in the workshop and exchanging your recent researches in these areas with co-workers and newcomers to the field. Students who are working in these areas with a paper to present are specially encouraged to attend. Depending on the availability of funds we may be able to partially support their travel. There will be a university wide lecture by Professor R.J. Aumann on the impact of Game Theoretic Research on Social Sciences and humanities. Tentative list of participants: Borkar, V.
