  • Game Theory and Pricing of Internet Services

    Tue, Dec 13, 2005 @ 02:00 PM - 03:00 PM

    Ming Hsieh Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering

    Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars


    DISTINGUISHED LECTURER SERIES"Game Theory and Pricing of Internet Services"Prof. Jean WalrandUniversity of California, BerkeleyAbstract:The evolution of Internet is driven as much by economics as by technology. Technology can enable or prevent markets and determine their characteristics. Today's Internet offers a restrictive market that limits incentives for service upgrades. We explore the relationship between technology and economics using game-theoretic models. Specifically, we examine service differentiation, revenue distribution, and the pricing of wireless services. The talk does not assume prior knowledge of game theory. The talk is based on the following papers: 1) Linhai He and Jean Walrand, "Pricing Differentiated Internet Services," in Proc. INFOCOM 2005.2) Linhai He and Jean Walrand, "Pricing and Revenue Sharing Strategies for Internet Service Providers," in Proc.
    INFOCOM 2005.3) John Musacchio and Jean Walrand, "Game-Theoretic Analysis of Wi-Fi Pricing," IEEE/ACM Trans.
    Networking, 2005. 4) Linhai He and Jean Walrand, "Issues in Pricing Internet Services,"IEEE JSAC, 2006.Bio:Jean Walrand is a Professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences at the University of California at Berkeley. His research interests include stochastic processes, queuing theory, communication networks, and control systems. He is the author of An Introduction to Queueing Networks (Prentice-Hall, 1988), Communication Networks: A First Course (McGraw-Hill, 1998, 2nd ed.), and co-author of High-Performance Communication Networks (Morgan Kaufmann, 2000). Prof. Walrand is a Fellow of the Belgian American Education Foundation and of the IEEE and a recipient of the Lanchester Prize (Informs) and of the Stephen O. Rice Prize (IEEE).Host: Prof. Michael Neely, x03505Note: A reception will follow the talk at 3:00p.m.
