Description

GameComm2008, the second International Workshop on Game Theory in Communication Networks, will take place this year in Athens, Greece on October 20, in conjunction with VALUETOOLS'08.

The distributed nature of wireline and wireless communication networks gives rise to many challenges related to their analysis, control, and management. The selfish nature of users, development of decentralized control mechanisms, and fair allocation of system resources are among major issues in networks research. Consequently, game theoretic methods are increasingly utilized to gain a deeper understanding of these complex problems and systems. Specifically, game theoretic models have been used in the context of Internet pricing, flow and congestion control, routing, power control, and recently security, among many other topics. The application of game theory to communication networks has attracted researchers from a variety of disciplines, including computer science, operations research, control theory, and economics.

This workshop aims to bring together researchers who are interested in all aspects of the application of game theory to the analysis and design of communication networks. The goal is to display the state-of-the-art in this field, stir discussion, and outline possible directions for further progress.

Workshop Topics

encompass all aspects of game theoretical analysis as it applies to communication networks, including (but not limited to) the following methods and application areas:

Papers

Technical papers describing original, previously unpublished research, not currently under review by another conference or journal, are solicited. The conference language is English.

Publication

All submitted papers and posters will be rigorously reviewed by the technical program committee members and the reviewers they invite. Accepted papers will be published in Valuetools conference proceedings.
Selected papers will be considered for publication in a special issue of the Telecommunication Systems Journal dedicated to GameComm 2008.
