BACKGROUND
Today's communication networks and networked systems are highly
complex and heterogeneous, and are often owned by multiple
profit-making entities. For new technologies or infrastructure
designs to be adopted, they must not be only based on sound
engineering performance considerations but also present the right
economic incentives. Recent changes in regulations of the
telecommunication industry make such economic considerations even
more urgent. For instance, new concerns such as network neutrality
have a significant impact on the evolution of communication
networks.
At the same time, communication networks and networked systems
support increasing economic activity based on applications and
services such as cloud computing, social networks, and peer-to-peer
networks. These applications pose new challenges such as the
development of good pricing and incentive mechanisms to promote
effective system-wide behavior. In relation to these applications,
security and privacy also require consideration of economic aspects
to be fully understood.
The aim of W-PIN+NetEcon is to foster discussions on the application
of economic and game-theoretic models and principles to address
challenges in the development of networks and network-based
applications and services. W-PIN+NetEcon was formed as a merger of
the successful NetEcon (earlier P2PECON, IBC and PINS workshops) and
W-PIN workshops.
