CALL FOR PAPERS NetEcon 2012 7th Workshop on the Economics of Networks, Systems, and Computation Mar 30, 2012, held in conjunction with INFOCOM'12 *SUBMISSION DEADLINE: Dec 16, 2011* The emergence of the Internet as a global platform for computation and communication has sparked the development and deployment of many large-scale networked systems. Often, these systems involve multiple stakeholders with competing interests. Unmitigated selfish behavior in these systems can lead to high inefficiency or even complete collapse. Research interest in the application of economic and game-theoretic principles to the design and analysis of networked systems has grown in recent years. The NetEcon Workshop promotes multi-disciplinary work and discussion about the role of incentives in communication and computation. It is our hope that NetEcon will serve as a feeder workshop, i.e., that expanded, polished versions of some NetEcon workshop papers will appear later in major conference proceedings and refereed journals of relevant research communities. Authors for whom publication in the NetEcon online workshop papers would preclude later publication of an expanded version in the relevant venue may elect to contribute only a one-page abstract of their submitted paper to the NetEcon workshop papers; such an abstract should include the URL of a working paper or preprint that contains the main results presented at the NetEcon workshop. The authors can make this decision after they receive a notice of acceptance.
