About the workshop
===================
The second iteration of the *Workshop on Automata and Games for Synthesis*
is an on-site event happening on December 20, 2025, in Goa, India. It is
co-located with Foundations of Software Technology and Theoretical Computer
Science (FSTTCS) 2025, the premier international computer science
conference in India, and held annually in December since 1981. Automated
synthesis of systems from specifications has been a longstanding goal of
computer science. The workshop focuses on various aspects by which automata
and game solving are used to tackle problems motivated by synthesis.
The workshop will feature three invited speakers and some sessions with
short presentations. For the short presentations, early-career researchers
are encouraged to talk about their research in 10–15 minute sessions (exact
length will depend on the number of contributions). For submission, we
solicit a title and an abstract for the talk (please find the Google Form
link below).
The workshop does not have proceedings; therefore previously published
talks or ongoing work are both encouraged to be presented. Topics for
presentation at the workshop include, but are not limited to, the following:
Automata Theory
Reactive Synthesis
Games on Finite and Infinite Graphs
Computational aspects of Game Theory
Concurrency and Distributed computation
Formal Languages
Games and Automata for Verification
Specification and Verification of Finite and Infinite-state Systems
