> 2nd Workshop on Smart Data Pricing (SDP 2013)
> =================================================================
> To be held as part of Infocom 2013, April 19, 2013, Turin, Italy

>
> Scope and Topics
> ----------------
> Demand for data in both wired and wireless broadband networks is doubling
> every year, forcing Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to use pricing as a
> congestion management tool. This changing landscape is evidenced by the
> elimination of flat-rate plans in favor of $10/GB overage fees in the US.
> Smart Data Pricing (SDP) will play a major role in the sustainability and
> future of mobile, broadband, and content. SDP can refer to (a)
> time/location/app/congestion dependent dynamic pricing, (b) usage based
> pricing with throttling/booster, (c) WiFi offloading/proactive caching, (d)
> two-sided pricing/sponsored content, (e) quota-aware content distribution,
> and any combination of the above. SDP can help create happier
> consumers/enterprise users, less congestion and better Quality of
> Experience, lower CapEx/OpEx, higher revenue/profit margin, less churn,
> more consumption and ad revenue to content/app providers. But all these
> require smart interfaces among pipe providers and content/app providers,
> effective user interface designs, and a combination of smart ideas, smart
> execution, and smart policy.
> SDP 2013 will provide a multi-disciplinary platform for researchers in
> engineering, economics, and business, to exchange novel ideas to jointly
> address the challenges and opportunities presented by the recent explosive
> growth in demand for broadband data.
>
> Call for Papers
> ---------------
> SDP 2013 workshop solicits contributions on the state-of-the-art, results
> of ongoing research, open issues, trends, standardization activities, and
> new ideas on smart pricing. Topics of particular interest include, but are
> not limited to:
>
>  *   Theories, models, and analyses of access pricing
>  *   Use of incentives and economic mechanisms to alleviate network
> congestion
>  *   Economics of WiFi offloading, femtocells, heterogeneous networks
>  *   Empirical studies of user behavior in response to price incentives
>  *   New system implementation, deployment, or field trials of pricing
> mechanisms
>  *   Challenges in monetization of spectrum and emerging pricing trends
>  *   Two-sided pricing, billing, and sponsored content
>  *   Network neutrality and regulatory implications of pricing policies
>  *   Pricing of smart grids, cloud computing, satellite systems etc.
>  *   Architecture, hardware, and software requirements for enabling smarter
> pricing
>  *   Security and privacy issues in pricing practices
>  *   Human-computer interaction and psychological aspects of access pricing
>  *   Signaling protocols and standardization activities for smart pricing
