Autobóz 2020

July 11-18, Frankenstein (Pfalz), Germany

Autobóz is a yearly week-long invitational research camp on Logic, Automata, and Games. We strive to find each year a remote location to allow a group of about 25 young researchers to work in a distraction-free environment.

Started as a workshop for PhD students in Warsaw, Autobóz has grown to include researchers from all over the world, and multiple publications are direct consequences of the interactions fostered during these meetings.

This year's Autobóz will take place in Germany.

Open Problems

The bread and butter of the attendees is formed by open problems in automata, logic, games, and related topics. We gather past problems on this website:
