Dear Colleague,

from June 24 to June 25, a Doctoral Consortium will be held prior to "GDN 2006 - Group Decision and Negotiation 2006" in Karlsruhe (http://www.gdn2006.org).

The doctoral consortium will give Ph.D. candidates the opportunity to present and to discuss their work in a small group of peer Ph.D. students as well as senior researchers from all over the world. The Event is co-organised by the Interdisciplinary Graduate School "Information Management and Market Engineering(IME)" (http://www.ime.uni-karlsruhe.de/) of Karlsruhe University.

Topics include but are not limited to Group Decision, Negotiation, Market Engineering, and Service Engineering as well as related disciplines from Computer Science and Economics. The consortium will focus on the methodological foundations such as software design principles, architectures, modelling, game theory, experiments, simulations, statistics/econometrics, and operations research.

An attractive social program will enrich the doctoral consortium and will give many opportunities to create long-lasting peer-networks.

On behalf of the Committee of the GDN 2006 and the Doctoral Consortium, I kindly ask you to forward the attached invitation to your Ph.D. students and to encourage them to apply for the consortium.

Please find more information in the attached Call-for-Participation as well as on the conference web page http://www.gdn2006.org.

Looking forward to meeting you in Karlsruhe!

Best regards Christof Weinhardt
