The W orkshop on Game theory in Communication networks ( GameComm) is a\n one-day meeting held in conjunction with the 3rd International\n Conference on Performance Evaluation Methodologies and Tools\n (VALUETOOLS'08, http://ww w.valuetools.org/).\n
\nThe distributed nature of wireline and wireless commun ication\n networks gives rise to many challen ges related to their\n analysis, control, and management. The selfish nature of users,\n d evelopment of decentralized control mechanisms, an d fair\n allocation of system resources are a mong major issues in\n networks research. Con sequently, game theoretic methods are\n incre asingly utilized to gain a deeper understanding of these\n complex problems and systems. Specif ically, game theoretic\n models have been use d in the context of Internet pricing, flow\n and congestion control, routing, power control, an d recently\n security, among many other topic s. The application of game\n theory to commun ication networks has attracted researchers from\n a variety of disciplines, including computer science, operations\n research, control theor y, and economics.\n
\nThis works hop aims to bring together researchers who are\n interested in all aspects of the application g ame theory to the\n analysis and design of co mmunication networks. The goal is to\n displa y the state-of-the-art in this evolving field, as well as\n stir discussion and outline possibl e directions for further\n progress.\n < /p>\n \n \n

\n\n The Ga meComm 2008 workshop solicits technical papers des cribing\n original, previously unpublished research\n on all aspects of game theoretic al analysis as\n it applies to communicat ion networks.\n Submission deadline: June 1 0, 2008.\n Selected papers will be consid ered for publication in a special issue of\n the Telecommunication Systems Journal dedicate d to GameComm 2008.\n
