December 18-21, 2000. Adelaide, South Australia.
Organised by
International Society for Dynamic Games (ISDG)
Co-sponsored by

INTRODUCTION
The International Symposium on Dynamic Games and Applications is a biennial professional event. The first symposium was held in 1984 in Haifa, Israel. It was followed by meetings in Williamsburg, USA (1986), Antibes, France (1988), Espoo, Finland (1990), Grimentz, Switzerland (1992), St. Jovite, Canada (1994) Kanagawa, Japan (1996) and Maastricht, The Netherlands (1998). This ninth symposium is the first to be held in Australia. It has been scheduled in the week following the IEEE Conference on Decision and Control, in Sydney. Participants will have the opportunity to hear state-of-the-art lectures on a wide range of game-theoretic models and applications.
LOCATION
All the sessions and the conference dinner, will be held at the Stamford Grand Hotel, in Glenelg. Situated on the sea shore, the hotel is unique in its design and reflects a character reminiscent of grand European hotels of the Victorian era. Glenelg is a popular tourist suburb approximately 15 km from downtown Adelaide. Adelaide, the capital of South Australia, is a city of over one million people where in the space of a day, you can stretch out on a vast sandy beach, cruise winding roads in lush green hills covered with vineyards, or see some of Australia's rarest native animals in their natural habitat.
