Special Issue on: "Algorithmic Game Theory"

Guest Editors:
Rajgopal Kannan and Costas Busch, Louisiana State University, USA

Game-theory offers a formal mechanism for studying complex interactions
between multiple rational participants. The emergence of the Internet as a
dominant communication platform has brought to the surface many
interesting game theoretic problems that arise from the interplay of the
entities that manage and use the Internet. Algorithm and network
designers, in general, are interested in analysing outcomes of these
interactions. This has resulted in the formation of the new research area
of algorithmic game theory which brings together two important scientific
fields: economics and computer science.

Algorithmic game theory also covers problems that arise outside the
Internet. In this new research area, games are studied from the
perspective of algorithmic issues which, for example, include the design
of algorithms that compute equilibria, measurement of equilibria quality,
and generally the design of new games that can be analysed with
algorithmic techniques.

In this special issue, we invite the submission of papers in the broad
area of algorithmic game theory. The objective is to publish a selection
of high quality papers which span different areas in this research field.

Topics of interest include (but not limited to):

     * Games in communication networks
           o Routing games
           o Power games
           o Potential games
           o Network pricing
     * Mechanism design
           o Network formation
           o Pricing and auctions
     * Coalition games
     * Different equilibria concepts: Nash, Cooperative, Stackelberg,
Wardrop equilibria
     * Multi-stage and repeated games
     * Zero-sum games
     * Games of imperfect or asymmetric information
     * Learning games

Submitted papers should not have been previously published nor be
currently under consideration for publication elsewhere.

All papers are refereed through a peer review process. A guide for
authors, sample copies and other relevant information for submitting
papers are available on the Author Guidelines page at:
