Motivated by mirror symmetry, we study the counting of open curves in log Calabi-Yau surfaces. Although we start with a complex surface, the counting is achieved by applying methods from Berkovich geometry. The idea is to relate the counting of open curves to special types of closed curves. This gives rise to new geometric invariants inaccessible by classical methods. These invariants satisfy a list of very nice properties. I will talk about the positivity, the integrality and the gluing formula. If time permits, I will also mention the conjectural wall-crossing formula as well as applications to mirror symmetry.
