SCOPE

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.

GAMENETS 2011 will bring together researchers who apply game theory to
analyze, design, and assess the performance of networks.
