Workshop on Algorithmic Game Theory:
Dynamics and Convergence in Distributed Systems
July 5, 2010
Bordeaux, France
Colocated with ICALP 2010

______________________________________________________________________
Workshop:
---------
This workshop is devoted to problems related to sharing ressources in
network or in distributed systems.
More and more distributed systems include agents that interact in
various and varying degrees of collaboration and competition. For
example, in telecommunication protocols, inter-domain routing often
involves routes that belong to commercial companies whose benefits are
function of the involved traffic, and hence function of a global
competition. As another example, in the computational grid tasks must
often be scheduled on machines, that may belong to several
organizations that have their own objectives. This may lead to
globally sub-optimal load balancing situations resulting of the
competition between organizations that have to optimize their own
objectives.
Topics of Interests:
------------
Original contributions in resource allocation and cooperation in
networks or in distributed systems are solicited. Topics of interest
include (but are not limited to):
* Algorithmic Game Theory
* Evaluations of quality of solutions
* Algorithms for repeated or for dynamic games
* Notion of stability in distributed System
* Algorithmic Aspects of Networks
* Convergence results for distributed system
* Self-stabilization
* Comparison of centralized versus distributed algorithms
Submissions:
------------
Submitted papers must be written in English, must use at least 11 point
font, and must have reasonable margins, and should not exceed 8 pages.
Proceedings:
------------
Speakers will be invited to contribute to a special issue of a journal
if the level of the contributions allows.
