Title: Workshop on Internet Topology and Economics (WITE) Dates: November 12-14, 2012
Location: School of Computer Science, Georgia Tech, Atlanta. URL: http://www.cc.gatech.edu/~dovrolis/wite12/ Workshop's Theme: ----------------- The Internet is made up of tens of thousands of smaller networks called Autonomous Systems (ASes), owned by self-interested but often competing economic entities (ranging from universities and small businesses to multinational companies and large Internet service providers). The business agreements (e.g., peering, transit) between ASes play a major role in shaping the structure of today's Internet, the "Internet topology", and the manner in which it evolves over time. What we observe macroscopically as the AS-level Internet graph is actually the result of a large number of decisions and actions by individual economic entities (ASes). These ASes are strategic and typically aim to maximize their profits, reliability and performance. This important aspect creates a strong connection between Internet topology research, economics, and game-theoretic network formation models. The aim of this workshop is to bring together several different research communities (Internet Topology Measurement, Economics, Theoretical Computer Science, Network Science) and the related industry (ISPs, Content Providers, Content Distribution Networks, etc.) to help narrow the gap between research and operational practice. The workshop's program: http://www.cc.gatech.edu/~dovrolis/wite12/program.htm We have a limited (<10) number of available seats.
