=======================================================
The 3rd Workshop on Biological Distributed Algorithms (BDA 2015)
August 18-19, 2015 in Boston, MA USA
http://www.snl.salk.edu/~navlakha/BDA2015/
=======================================================

We are excited to announce the third workshop on Biological
Distributed Algorithms (BDA). BDA is focused on the relationships
between distributed computing and distributed biological systems and
in particular, on analysis and case studies that combine the two. Such
research can lead to better understanding of the behavior of the
biological systems while at the same time developing novel
computational algorithms that can be used to solve distributed
computing problems.

BDA 2015 will include invited and contributed presentations, as well
as open discussions, on distributed algorithms related to a variety of
biological systems, with special attention to communication and
coordination in insect colonies (e.g. foraging, navigation, task
allocation, construction) and networks in the brain (e.g. learning,
decision-making, attention).

============

8th INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON ALGORITHMIC GAME THEORY

SAGT 2015

http://sagt2015.mpi-inf.mpg.de/

Saarbrücken, September 28 - 30, 2015

Early Registration Deadline: August 15, 2015

--------------------------------------------------

The 8th International Symposium on Algorithmic Game Theory (SAGT) will
take place in Saarbrücken, Germany, September 28-30. The purpose of SAGT
is to bring together researchers from Computer Science, Economics,
Mathematics, and related disciplines, to present and discuss original
research at the intersection of Algorithms and Game Theory.

The program of SAGT will include both invited lectures and presentations
of refereed submissions. Invited speakers are:

- Elias Koutsoupias, Oxford
- Herve Moulin, Glasgow
- Tim Roughgarden, Stanford

For details see:
