[Apologies for multiple postings] Dear Colleagues, Please see below the final call for submissions for Workshop on Automata and Games for Synthesis, and note that the submission deadline is extended to *1st December AOE.* Please distribute the call, consider submitting and encourage your fellow researchers and students to submit their best work of the year! ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ -------------------------------------- Call for Participations Workshop on Automata and Games for Synthesis <https://sites.google.com/view/wagsfsttcs2025/home> Goa, India December 20th, 2025 Co-located with Foundations of Software Technology and Theoretical Computer Science (FSTTCS) 2025 <https://www.fsttcs.org.in/2025/> --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Submission of contributed talks at: https://forms.gle/baHEbDRh5eJbfgbA8 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Workshop website: https://sites.google.com/view/wagsfsttcs2025 =================== 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, *students, postdocs, and 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 ============================ Important dates and information ============================ Submission Deadline : *December 1, 2025 (AoE)* Notification Final Notification : Sent on a rolling basis, let us know if you need it before the early-bird registration deadline of FSTTCS ends (on *November 30th AOE*). : December 3rd, 2025 Workshop : December 20, 2025 Submission of contributed talks at: https://forms.gle/baHEbDRh5eJbfgbA8 ============= Invited speakers ============= Orna Kupferman (Hebrew University) B.
