*** SPECIAL ISSUE ***

A selection of the best papers (excluding work-in-progress papers) will be invited to submit an extended version of their work to a special issue in the Elsevier Performance Evaluation (PEVA) journal.

SCOPE AND TOPICS

Internet communications and services are experiencing an increase in volume and diversity both in their capacity and demand along with an underlying increase in the complexity of their control and optimization, mainly due to heterogeneity in architecture as well as usage. The need for new ways of effectively and fairly allocating resources belonging to a wide set of not necessarily cooperative networks to a collection of possibly competing users is urgent.

The goal of the conference is to bring together researchers and practitioners from different areas of game theory, control, and optimization, with a special focus on their applications to network science.

NetGCoop 2024 welcomes submissions on all aspects of efficient and robust control, operation, optimization and performance evaluation. Both theoretical and experimental submissions are encouraged; the areas of interest include (but are not limited to):

  • Optimization and control-theoretic tools in networking
  • Differential games and mean-field games over networks
  • Network models based on algorithmic game theory
  • Learning mechanisms in networks
  • Incentives for cooperation in networks
  • Static and dynamic network pricing
  • Auctions, bargaining, and contract design in networks
  • Optimization of wireline, wireless, and power networks
  • Economics of cloud, fog, and edge computing
  • Performance and economics of software-defined networking
  • Trust and reputation management in networks
  • Games for ad placement, influence networks
  • Network formation games and routing
  • Resource allocation

PLENARY SPEAKERS

The conference is pleased to announce four plenary speakers:

  • Michel Mandjes (Mathematical Institute, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam) on learning in networks
  • Nadia Oudjane (EDF, France)
  • Sergio Grammatico (Delft University of Technology, The Netherlands): Equilibrium seeking in complex systems.
  • Michael I. Jordan (UC Berkeley, USA): Machine Learning Meets Asymmetric Information.

PAPER SUBMISSION

Papers are solicited as full papers (in English), of no more than 10 single-spaced pages, each of which will be subject to a full review process. Submitted papers must not have been published elsewhere nor currently be under review by another conference or journal. Submissions should follow the author guidelines as specified below and must include: 
title, authors, affiliations, 100-word abstract, and a list of at most five keywords. The corresponding author should be identified clearly, including name and e-mail address. An electronic, PDF-based submission of papers is mandatory. 

The conference proceedings are being published as hard-copy and electronically by Springer Verlag, Heidelberg, Germany, in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) Series and will be available during the event. In preparing their manuscript, authors are obliged to follow the LNCS guidelines (see https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-guidelines) strictly and without exception, including the 10 page limit. 

Papers can be submitted via the web site: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=netgcoop2024
