Deadline for Full Paper Submission: November 30, 2010

*****************************************************

Game theory provides a formal mathematical framework to study complex
interactions among interdependent rational players. For more than half a
century, game theory has led to revolutionary developments in economics,
and has also found important applications in politics, sociology,
psychology, engineering, and transportation. This conference will
bring together researchers who apply game theory to analyze, design,
and assess the performance of networks. Both the application of game
theory to networking problems and the development of new game-theoretic
methodologies that can be applied in that context are of interest. This
conference will bring together researchers who apply game theory to
analyze, design, and assess the performance of networks.!}fmt
