Scope

The topic of network control and optimization has been of increasing importance in many networking application domains, such as mobile and fixed access networks, computer networks, social networks, and transportation networks. These all require tools (both conceptual and

algorithmic) for a better and more efficient control operation, for optimization of their performance, and/or for a better understanding of the relationships between entities that may be cooperative or act selfishly, and in an uncertain and possibly adversarial environment.

The goal of this international forum is to bring together researchers from different areas with theoretical expertise in game theory, control, and optimization, and with applications in the domains listed above.

Topics of interest

Topics of interest to NetGCooP include (but are not limited to):

Resource allocation in networks

Optimization and control theoretical tools in networking

Algorithmic game theory

Learning in games, multi-agent learning
