GameNets 2011 - GameNets 2011 2nd International Conference on Game Theory for Networks (GameNets)

GameNets 2011

2nd International Conference on Game Theory for Networks (GameNets),

16-18 April 2011 Shanghai, China

http://www.gamenets.org/

Submission deadline: November 30, 2010

OVERVIEW:
Game theory provides a formal mathematical framework to study complex interactions among interdependent rational players. For more than half a century, game theory has led to revolutionary developments in economics, and has also found important applications in politics, sociology, psychology, engineering, and transportation. This conference will bring together researchers who apply game theory to analyze, design, and assess the performance of networks. Both the application of game theory to networking problems and the development of new game-theoretic methodologies that can be applied in that context are of interest. This conference will bring together researchers who apply game theory to analyze, design, and assess the performance of networks.

TOPICS:
Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):
* Distributed network resource allocation
* Trust and reputation management
* Security assessment and enhancement
* Dynamic spectrum assignment and management
* Cognitive radio networks
* Dynamic topology formation in networks
* Incentives for cooperation in networks
* Node mobility and route adaptation
* Fairness in forwarding and medium access
* Peer to peer and overlay networks
* Network pricing
* Multiple service provider interactions
* Powerline communication networks
* Electrical power networks
* Formation of social networks
* Biological networks
* Biologically-inspired network design
* Applicability and limitations of game theory in the networking domain
* Algorithmic game theory
* Equilibrium selection among multiple equilibria
* Paradigms of bounded rationality and consequences
* S-modular and potential games
* Price of anarchy
* Games of imperfect or asymmetric information
* Learning mechanisms in games
* Computation of Nash, correlated, and market equilibria
* Preference elicitation and winner determination in combinatorial auctions
* Stackelberg games
