CALL FOR PAPERS
https://wine2024.org/#call-for-papers
Over the past two decades, researchers in theoretical computer science,
artificial intelligence, operations research, and economics have joined forces
to understand the interplay of incentives and computation. These issues are of
particular importance for the Internet, enabling the interaction of large and
diverse populations. The Conference on Web and Internet Economics (WINE) is an
interdisciplinary forum for exchanging ideas and results on incentives and
computation arising from these various fields. WINE 2024 continues the
successful tradition of the Conference on Web and Internet Economics (named
Workshop on Internet & Network Economics until 2013), held annually from 2005 to
the present.
WINE 2024 is planned as an in-person event from December 2 to December 5, 2024,
hosted by the School of Informatics, University of Edinburgh.
The program will feature invited talks, tutorials, and paper presentations. All
paper submissions will be peer-reviewed and evaluated based on the quality of
their contribution, originality, soundness, and significance. Submissions about
Web and Internet Economics are invited in, but not limited to, the following
topics:
- Auctions and pricing
- Behavioral economics and behavioral modeling
- Blockchains and their applications
- Computational advertising
- Computational aspects of equilibria
- Computational social choice
- Coalitions, coordination, and collective action
- Decision theory
- Econometrics, ML and Data Science
- Economic and strategic aspects of machine learning models
- Fair division
- Information design including contest and contract design
- Information elicitation
- Learning in games and markets
- Market design
- Matching markets
- Mechanism design
- Network games
- Online platforms and applications
- Privacy, fairness, and security
- Revenue management
- Social networks
Papers deemed to be outside the scope of the WINE conference and/or not of
sufficient interest to the WINE community will be desk-rejected.

# Submission Format
Authors are invited to submit papers presenting original research on any
research topic related to WINE 2024.
Submissions must be anonymous (see below). A submission should start with the
title of the paper followed by a brief summary of the paper's contributions.
This should then be followed by a technical exposition of the main ideas and
techniques used to achieve these results, including motivation and a clear
comparison with related work. Even if the authors choose to publish a one-page
abstract, the submission of the complete paper is necessary to facilitate a
comprehensive and rigorous review process.
The submission should not exceed 12 single-spaced pages (excluding references)
using reasonable margins (at least one-inch margins all around) and at least
11-points font. If the authors believe that more details are essential to
substantiate the claims of the paper, they may include a clearly marked appendix
(with no space limit) that will be read at the discretion of the Program
Committee. It is strongly recommended that submissions adhere to the specified
format and length. Submissions that are clearly too long may be desk-rejected.
The above specifications are meant to provide more freedom to the authors at the
time of submission. Note that accepted papers will be allocated 18 pages
(including references) in the LNCS format in the proceedings (see below).
The proceedings of the conference will be published by Springer-Verlag in the
ARCoSS/LNCS series, and will be available for distribution at the conference.
Accepted papers will be allocated 18 pages total in the LNCS format in the
proceedings. Submissions are encouraged, though not required, to follow the LNCS
format (Latex, Word). More information about the LNCS format can be found on the
author instructions page of Springer-Verlag:
https://www.springer.com/cn/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-guidelines
WINE 2024 will use double-blind reviewing like all other major conferences.
Submissions should not reveal the identity of the authors in any way. In
particular, authors' names, affiliations, and email addresses should not appear
anywhere in the submission. (In LNCS \author{} and \institute{} fields should
not be included.) Authors should refer to their prior work in a neutral manner
(i.e., instead of saying "We showed …" say "XYZ et al. showed"). It is
acceptable to submit work that has been presented in public (provided there are
no published proceedings) or has been uploaded to arXiv or similar online
archives, provided the submission itself is anonymized.
Questions regarding the submissions can be directed to the PC Co-Chairs at
program-chairs@wine2024.org
# Conflict of Interest Policy
A conflict of interest (COI) is limited to the following categories:
- Family member or close friend.
- Ph.D. advisor or advisee (no time limit), or postdoctoral or undergraduate
mentor or mentee within the past five years.
- Person with the same affiliation.
- Involved in an alleged incident of harassment (it is not required that the
incident be reported).
- Reviewer owes the author a favor (e.g., recently requested a reference
letter).
- Frequent or recent collaborator whom you believe cannot objectively review
your work.
Authors will have the opportunity to declare COIs with (Senior) Program
Committee members. This must be done separately for each submission. Declaring
COIs prevents the specified person from reviewing a paper, thereby constraining
the matching process and potentially negatively impacting review quality. For
this reason, COIs should not be declared automatically based on a prior
relationship (e.g., coauthor, friend, colleague in the same institution, etc.).
(Senior) Program Committee members can also declare a COI with authors as well
as with specific papers. EasyChair asks the authors to specify the type of
conflict of interest when they declare one. Authors do not need to answer that
question. They can simply choose the option "other" and write "other" in the
textbox.
# Policy Against Plagiarism
WINE 2024 adopts the official ACM policy against plagiarism:
https://www.acm.org/publications/policies/penalties-for-publication-violations
# Best Paper Award
A best paper award and a best student paper award will be given. The awarded
papers will be chosen among those that appear in full length (18 pages) in the
proceedings.
# Important Notice
To accommodate the publishing traditions of different fields, authors of
accepted papers can ask that only a one-page abstract of the paper appear in the
proceedings, along with a URL pointing to the full paper. The authors should
guarantee the link to be reliable for at least two years. This option is
available to accommodate subsequent publication in journals that would not
consider results that have been published in preliminary form in conference
proceedings. Such papers must be submitted and formatted just like papers
submitted for full-text publication. Simultaneous submission of results to
another conference with published proceedings is not allowed. Results previously
published or presented at another archival conference prior to WINE 2024, or
published (or accepted for publication) at a journal prior to the submission
deadline of WINE 2024, will not be considered. Simultaneous submission of
results to a journal is allowed only if the authors intend to publish the paper
as a one-page abstract in WINE 2024. Papers that are accepted and appear as a
one-page abstract can be subsequently submitted for publication in a journal but
may not be submitted to any other conference that has a published proceeding.
# Forward to Journal
Upon submission, WINE authors would have a chance to select at most one from the
following journals:
- Management Science, Revenue Management and Market Analytics area
- Operations Research, Revenue Management and Market Analytics area
- Games and Economic Behavior
- Social Choice and Welfare
- ACM Transactions on Economics and Computation
- Artificial Intelligence
- Theoretical Economics
## How does it work?
If a WINE paper is accepted and the authors plan to use the forward-to-journal
option, the authors must submit a one-page extended abstract by the deadline for
the camera-ready version of the conference proceeding. The authors then have the
option of submitting their journal paper by January 22, 2025, to the journal
they have selected. The cover letter to the journal should specify that the
submission is part of the WINE 2024 forward-to-journal process. The authors
should also include a formal response document to the conference comments and
how these were addressed in the revised manuscript. WINE papers that submit a
final version by this deadline will be forwarded to the journal of choice, along
with the de-anonymized conference reviews. Note that a journal's participation
in the WINE forward-to-journal option does not mean that other forms of previous
publication are acceptable.
## What are the implications?
The journal's department editor and/or associate editor can use the conference
reviews to guide the decision-making process in whatever way the journal finds
appropriate. We suspect the AEs might choose referees from among the set of
conference reviewers, especially if they found the conference reviews
informative. We would like to emphasize, however, that the conference reviewers
are not required to accept such review requests. Furthermore, journals are not
required to accept these papers (and may even choose to desk-reject them
depending on fit).
