AMETHYST: gAME THeorY in complex SysTems

September 3rd, 2025, Siena, Italy

About

The fourth edition of the leading satellite on game theory at CCS, following three successful events at CCS 2021 in Lyon, France, CCS 2022 in Palma de Mallorca, Spain and CCS 2024 in Exeter, United Kingdom, will be held in Siena, Italy.

The satellite aims to gather together scholars belonging to different fields of complex systems who employ game-theoretical techniques in their research at both a theoretical and a more applied framework.

The AMETHYST satellite will attract researchers from the general audience of CCS 2025, from physicists and computer scientists to behavioral economists and social scientists interested in applying results from game theory to biology and human behavior. Game theory has applications in many disciplines, including statistical physics, computer science, biology, economics, finance, climate change negotiations, and sociology.


The intrinsic interdisciplinary framework of both complex systems and game theory allows researchers with different backgrounds and points of view to contribute to the satellite and find a broad set of tools that can be useful for solving recurrent problems that they face in their research areas. AMETHYST will focus on applications of complex systems and game theory to human behavior, focusing on empirical evidence and behavioral experiments.

Diogo L. Pires
Diogo is PhD candidate and Marie Curie Research Fellow in the Department of Mathematics at University of London. He is interested in developing modelling tools for studying behaviour emergence, particularly in the context of evolutionary game theory and often incorporating realistic features of complex systems. His focus is on understanding and informing aspects of social and biological systems related to collective action, population structure, and mobility.
