ISDG achieves these goals by organizing or co-organizing symposia, conferences and workshops and publishing distinguished high-standard journalsto establish links with the international scientific community and in particular with other societies dealing with game theory, optimization, decision analysis and dynamical systems.Annals of the International Society of Dynamic Games (series ed.: Tamer Başar; published by Birkhäuser)Dynamic Games and Applications (editor-in-chief: Georges Zaccour; published by Birkhäuser)International Game Theory Review (managing editor: David W.
