-------------------------------

7th INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON ALGORITHMIC GAME THEORY

SAGT 2014

http://sagt-2014.iew.technion.ac.il/

Haifa, Israel, Sep. 30 - Oct. 2, 2014

--------------------------------------------------

IMPORTANT DATES

- Submission: May 1, 2014.
- Notification: July 1, 2014.

--------------------------------------------------

The 7th International Symposium on Algorithmic Game Theory (SAGT) will
take place in Haifa, Israel, from September 30 to October 2. The purpose
of SAGT is to bring together researchers from Computer Science,
Economics, Physics, Biology and Mathematics to present and discuss
original research at the intersection of Algorithms and Game Theory.

The program of SAGT will include both invited lectures and presentations
for refereed submissions. Confirmed invited speakers are

- Ron Holtzman, Technion
- Matthew Jackson, Stanford
- Moshe Tennenholtz, Technion and Microsoft Research

In addition to the usual competitive track there will be an "economics"
track consisting of a small number of solicited papers to increase
engagement among game theorists with different background than computer
science.


SUBMISSIONS
-----------

Authors are invited to submit previously unpublished work for possible
presentation at the conference. Foundational work is solicited on topics
including but not limited to:

- Solution Concepts in Game Theory
- Efficiency of Equilibria and Price of Anarchy
- Complexity Classes in Game Theory
- Computational Aspects of Equilibria
- Computational Aspects of Fixed-Point Theorems
- Algorithmic Mechanism Design
- Computing with Incentives
- Computational Social Choice
- Decision Theory, and Pricing
- Auction Algorithms and Analysis
- Repeated Games
- Evolution and Learning in Games
- Convergence of Dynamics
- Coalitions, Coordination and Collective Action
- Reputation, Recommendation and Trust Systems
- Network Games and Graph-Theoretic Aspects of Social Networks
- Cost-Sharing Algorithms and Analysis
- Economic Aspects of Distributed Computing
- Internet Economics and Computational Advertising

Industrial application works and position papers presenting novel ideas,
issues, challenges and directions are also welcome. It is expected that
every accepted paper will be presented at the symposium by one of the
authors.

Submissions must be prepared in LNCS-style and limited to at most 12
pages. Additional material can be added in a clearly marked appendix.
Accepted papers are presented in at most 12 pages in the proceedings.
Alternatively, authors of accepted papers can publish only a one page
abstract in the proceedings, along with a URL pointing to the full paper.

For more detailed submission guidelines and instructions see the
conference webpage at http://sagt-2014.iew.technion.ac.il
