  • SoCal NEGT Symposium 2015

    Sat, Oct 31, 2015

    Thomas Lord Department of Computer Science

    Workshops & Infosessions


    Registration Required.

    Full event program can be found HERE.

    This symposium will bring together students, professors, and researchers from Southern California, who apply game theory to analyze, design, and assess the performance of networks. We hope to highlight synergies between various related research areas and encourage discussions regarding the benefits and limitations of game theory as a performance assessment and design tool for networks. Both the application of game theory to networking problems and the development of new game-theoretic methodologies that can be applied in that context are of interest. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):

    Distributed network resource allocation
    Trust and reputation management
    Security assessment and enhancement
    Dynamic spectrum assignment and management
    Cognitive radio networks
    Dynamic topology formation in networks
    Incentives for cooperation in networks
    Node mobility and route adaptation
    Fairness in forwarding and medium access
    Peer to peer and overlay networks
    Network pricing
    Multiple service provider interactions
    Powerline communication networks
    Electrical power networks
    Formation of social networks
    Biological networks
    Biologically-inspired network design
    Applicability and limitations of game theory in the networking domain
    Algorithmic game theory
    Equilibrium selection among multiple equilibria
    Paradigms of bounded rationality and consequences
    S-modular and potential games
    Price of anarchy
    Games of imperfect or asymmetric information
    Learning mechanisms in games
    Computation of Nash, correlated, and market equilibria
    Preference elicitation and winner determination in combinatorial auctions
    Stackelberg games
    Cooperative game theoretical models
    Multi-stage and repeated games
    Mechanism design

  • MEGA Graduate Symposium

    Sat, Oct 31, 2015 @ 09:30 AM - 03:30 PM

    Viterbi School of Engineering Student Organizations

    Student Activity


    Are you considering furthering your education by going to graduate school? Or maybe you're not sure whether to choose industry or academia after graduation? Whether or not you have questions about your career path, make sure you come out to our Graduate Development Symposium, cohosted by the Minority Engineering Graduate Association (MEGA), to gain more insight on how best to prepare for graduate studies as well as become more familiar with the application process. We will have current graduate students as well as professors and even a representative from industry to speak about their experiences and suggestions for prospective students. Of course lunch will be provided, and there will also be opportunities to win prizes! We also plan on socializing afterwards to celebrate Halloween and possibly watch the Cal vs. USC game, with details to come. If you would like to attend please RSVP.

    Location: University Park Campus TCC 350-352

    Audiences: Everyone Is Invited
