**Apologies for multiple postings** Dear Colleagues, Please find below the call for participation and talks for the Workshop on automata and games for synthesis, taking place just after FSTTCS at BITS Goa. Kindly share it with others. ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ -------------------------------------- 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, 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 ============================ Early Submission Deadline November 13, 2025 Early Notification November 14, 2025 (notifications sent on a rolling basis; note that early-bird registration for the conference and workshop ends on November 15, 2025) Final Submission Deadline November 25, 2025 (AoE) Final Notification November 30, 2025 Workshop December 20, 2025 Submission of contributed talks at: https://forms.gle/baHEbDRh5eJbfgbA8 ============= Invited speakers ============= Orna Kupferman (Hebrew University) B.
