AlgoGT 2010 - Workshop on Algorithmic Game Theory: Dynamics and Convergence in Distributed Systems AlgoGT 2010

More and more distributed systems include agents that interact in various and varying degrees of collaboration and competition. For example, in telecommunication protocols, inter-domain routing often involves routes that belong to commercial companies whose benefits are function of the involved traffic, and hence function of a global competition. As another example, in the computational grid tasks must often be scheduled on machines, that may belong to several organizations that have their own objectives. This may lead to globally sub-optimal load balancing situations resulting of the competition between organizations that have to optimize their own objectives.

This workshop is interested in problems related to sharing ressources in network or in distributed systems.

It is to attract to ICALP people usually not to take part in this conference. This workshop it is directly connected to the thematics of Track C and Track A.
