GameNets 2012 - 3rd International ICST Conference on Game Theory for Networks

GameNets 2012
International Conference on Game Theory for Networks 2012
24-26 May 2012
Vancouver, Canada
Game theory is a resourceful mathematical framework to analyze complex interactions of cooperative or competing decision makers taking into account their preferences and requirements. The far-reaching achievements of Game Theory are well manifested by 8 Nobel prizes for researchers in this field, most recently in 2007 for "the foundations of mechanism design theory".
GameNets 2012 aims to bring together the leading researchers in Game Theory together for an informal yet informative gathering which hopefully will lead into new collaborative research initiatives and help advance the state-ofthe- art. Hereby we encourage prospective authors to submit their original, unpublished work covering (but not limited to) the following topics:
Novel solution concepts such as equilibrium solutions or core solutions
Dynamic and stochastic games
Coalition formation games
Evolutionary game theory for wireless networks
Super-modular and sub-modular games
Mechanism design
Truthfulness and profitability in auctions and their applications to communication networks
Correlated equilibrium
Analysis of security and privacy in networks via game theory
Reinforcement and Q-learning
Imperfect/asymmetric information games
Self-organizing and cognitive radio networks
Femto-cell coexistence and scheduling
Multi-armed and restless bandit
Game Theory for Cloud Computing and its Applications
Investigation of the Price of Anarchy (PoA)
