Call for Papers---Special Issue of Decision Analysis on Games and Decisions in Reliability and Risk: Deadline: April 25, 2011

The objective of the special issue is to introduce a new theme, the use of game theory and decision theory in reliability analysis and risk analysis. The special issue aims to bring together novel research from disciplines that have the potential to contribute to this theme, including (but not limited to) economics, engineering, finance, mathematics, medical sciences, military sciences, probability, and statistics. Papers must tackle a problem in risk or reliability using the tools of decision theory or game theory (or both). The issue will not only consider papers presented at the Second Symposium on Games and Decisions in Reliability and Risk, to be held at the Hotel Villa Carlotta, Belgirate (VB), Lake Maggiore, Italy, May 19–21, 2011 (http://www.mi.imati.cnr.it/conferences/gdrr11.html), but will also be open to the public for submission of papers relevant to the theme. The deadline for submission of papers is April 25, 2011. Papers limited to 12 double-spaced pages (including references and figures/tables) should be submitted at http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/deca and should follow the Decision Analysis author submission guidelines given at http://www.informs.org/Pubs/DA/ Submission-Guidelines. All submissions will go through the standard review process of Decision Analysis. Submitting authors should indicate their desire to be considered for the special issue in the cover letter to Editor-in-Chief L. Robin Keller, completed during the submission process.
