[GENERAL DESCRIPTION]
There has been a growing trend in merging theories, methodologies,
and applications in Computer Science, Economics, Mathematics,
Management Sciences for solving problems arisen in Internet
technologies, grid computing, network communication protocols, as
well as social economic issues in virtual communities enabled
through World Wide Web.
The Workshop on Internet & Network Economics (WINE) is an
interdisciplinary conference that intends to provide a forum for
researchers as well as practitioners to exchange innovative ideas
and to be aware of each other’s efforts and results. The 2nd edition
