*** SPECIAL ISSUE ***
A selection of the best papers (excluding work-in-progress papers) will be 
invited to submit an extended version of their work to a special issue in the 
Elsevier Performance Evaluation (PEVA) journal.

SCOPE AND TOPICS

Internet communications and services are experiencing an increase in volume 
and diversity both in their capacity and demand along with an underlying 
increase in the complexity of their control and optimization, mainly due to 
heterogeneity in architecture as well as usage. The need for new ways of 
effectively and fairly allocating resources belonging to a wide set of not 
necessarily cooperative networks to a collection of possibly competing users 
is urgent.

The goal of the conference is to bring together researchers and practitioners 
from different areas of game theory, control, and optimization, with a 
special focus on their applications to network science.

NetGCoop 2024 welcomes submissions on all aspects of efficient and robust 
control, operation, optimization and performance evaluation. Both theoretical 
and experimental submissions are encouraged; the areas of interest include 
(but are not limited to):

•        Optimization and control-theoretic tools in networking
•        Differential games and mean-field games over networks
•        Network models based on algorithmic game theory
•        Learning mechanisms in networks
•        Incentives for cooperation in networks
•        Static and dynamic network pricing
•        Auctions, bargaining, and contract design in networks
•        Optimization of wireline, wireless, and power networks
•        Economics of cloud, fog, and edge computing
•        Performance and economics of software-defined networking
•        Trust and reputation management in networks
•        Games for ad placement, influence networks
•        Network formation games and routing
•        Resource allocation


PLENARY SPEAKERS
The conference is pleased to announce four plenary speakers:
●        Michel Mandjes (Mathematical Institute, Vrije Universiteit 
Amsterdam): Dynamic random graphs: analysis and inference.
●        Nadia Oudjane (EDF, France): Optimizing over probability measures to 
manage distributed flexibilities in power systems.
●        Sergio Grammatico (Delft University of Technology, The Netherlands): 
Equilibrium seeking in complex systems.
●        Michael I. Jordan (UC Berkeley, USA): Machine Learning Meets 
Asymmetric Information.


PAPER SUBMISSION

Papers are solicited as full papers (in English), of no more than 10 
single-spaced pages, each of which will be subject to a full review process. 
Submitted papers must not have been published elsewhere nor currently be 
under review by another conference or journal. Submissions should follow the 
author guidelines as specified below and must include: 
title, authors, 
affiliations, 100-word abstract, and a list of at most five keywords. The 
corresponding author should be identified clearly, including name and e-mail 
address. An electronic, PDF-based submission of papers is mandatory.
 
The conference proceedings are being published as hard-copy and electronically by Springer Verlag, Heidelberg, Germany, in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) Series and will be available during the event. In preparing their manuscript, authors are obliged to follow the LNCS guidelines (seehttps://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-guidelines) strictly and without exception, including the 10 page limit.
Papers can be submitted via the web 
site:https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=netgcoop2024
