Special Track on Game Theory and its Applications

<http://www.bionetics.org/sp/gta.shtml>
http://www.bionetics.org/sp/gta.shtml

Game theory is a formal framework with a set of mathematical tools to study
the complex interactions among interdependent rational players. For more
than half a century, computational game theory has led to revolutionary
changes in economics, and has found important applications in politics,
sociology, psychology, communication, transportation and biology.
Evolutionary Game Theory (EGT) is a solid basis for understanding learning
and constructing new learning algorithms. The Replicator Equations will
appear to be an interesting model to study learning in various settings.
This model consists of a system of differential equations describing how a
population (or a probability distribution) of strategies evolves over time,
and plays a central role in biological and economical models. Thus, EGT is
an integral part of AI.

The aim of this special track is to bring together the state-of-the-art
research contributions that address the fundamentals and sound theoretical
models of game theory and the major opportunities and challenges of applying
game theory to solving real problems in industry, biology, medicine,
communications, and other disciplines.

We seek original completed and unpublished work not currently under review
by any other journal/magazine. Topics of interest include (but are not
limited to):

* Emerging game-theoretical models

* Evolutionary Game Theory
* Game Theoretic approach to DAI
* Game Theory, Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence
* S-modular and potential games
* Stackelberg and Wardrop equilibria
* Coalition games and Nash bargaining models
* Multi-stage and repeated games

* General game-theoretic methodologies and techniques

* Efficiency loss compared with optimization model (i.e., price of
anarchy)
* Games of imperfect or asymmetric information
* Effects of bounded rationality
* Learning mechanisms in games
* Computation of Nash, correlated, and market equilibria
* Algorithmic Mechanism design and learning mechanisms in games

* Applications

* Game theory and EGT algorithms for optimization in dynamic and noisy
environments
