It is our pleasure to invite you to the symposium: “Monte-Carlo Search is Everywhere”, which will take place on December 2, 2013, in Maastricht. The symposium is sponsored by SIKS, BNVKI, and DKE. The event is part of the advanced components stage of the educational program for SIKS PhD-students.

The international symposium “Monte-Carlo Search is Everywhere” will give an outline on recent developments on the topic of Monte-Carlo search techniques for different classes of games (one-, two- or multi-player games, sequential or simultaneous, stochastic or deterministic, and imperfect information games). The symposium will be followed by the public defence of Pim Nijssen’s Ph.D. Thesis, entitled "Monte-Carlo Tree Search for Multi-Player Games".

Participation is free.
