GECON 2018 - 15th International Conference on Economics of Grids, Clouds, Systems & Services

GECON 2018 builds upon the very successful tradition of the conference previous editions since 2003, (http://www.gecon-conference.org).
GECON solicits contributions that are interdisciplinary, combining business and economic aspects with engineering and computer‐science related themes. Contributions to this conference can include extensions to existing technologies, successful deployments of technologies, economic analyses, analyses of technology adoptions, and theoretical models. We welcome papers that combine micro‐ and macro‐economic principles with resource management strategies in computer science and engineering. Case studies, which demonstrate practical use of economic strategies, benefits and limitations, are particularly encouraged. The purpose of this event is to gather original work and build a strong multidisciplinary community in this increasingly important area of a future information and knowledge economy. In addition to the regular contributions, GECON 2018 invites contributions to a thematic track focusing on Blockchain Technology and Economics.
