Call For Participation:
W-PIN 2012: The first Workshop on Pricing and Incentive in Networks
In conjunction with ACM SIGMETRICS/Performance 2012
Monday, June 11, 2012 (London, UK)
http://www.eurecom.fr/~loiseau/W-PIN2012/
*******************************************************************
BACKGROUND
Today's communication networks are highly complex and heterogeneous, and
are often owned by multiple profit-making entities. For new technologies
or infrastructure designs to be adopted, they must not be only based on
pure engineering performance considerations. Instead, they must be
accompanied by the right economic incentive mechanisms. Recent changes
in regulations of the telecommunication industry make such economic
considerations even more urgent. For instance, new debates such as the
network neutrality debate have a significant impact on the evolution of
communication networks.
On the other hand, communication networks support an ever growing
economic activity based on applications and services such as cloud
computing, social networks, peer-to-peer networks, etc. These
applications pose new challenges such as the development of good pricing
mechanisms taking into account the network characteristics. In relation
to these applications, security and privacy questions also require
consideration of economic aspects to be fully understood.
The aim of the W-PIN workshop is to foster discussions on the
application of economic and game-theoretic models and principles to
address challenges in the development of networks and network-based
applications and services.
