Conference on network games, control and optimisation, Paris, France

A conference on network games, control and optimisation will be held from 12 to 14 October 2011 in Paris, France.

The topic of network control and optimisation has been of increasing importance in many networking application domains. Areas such as mobile and fixed access networks, computer networks, social networks and transportation networks all require tools for a variety of tasks.

Network control and optimisation can be help with performance improvement, increased understanding of the relationships between entities that may be cooperative or act selfishly, and help clarify uncertain or possibly adversarial environments.

The goal of this international forum is to bring together researchers from different areas with theoretical expertise in related areas. Topics will include:
- hierarchical optimisation in networking;
- resource allocation;
- algorithmic game theory;
- learning mechanisms in games;
- computation of Nash, correlated, and market equilibria;
- flow and congestion control in networks;
- scheduling transmissions in networking;
- grid applications;
- trust and reputation management;
- electrical power networks;
- formation of social networks;
- competitive routing;
- biological networks.For further information, please visit: http://netgcoop.imag.fr/(opens in new window)
