AAAI Spring Symposium 2014 on Applied Computational Game Theory

Description

Game theory's popularity continues to increase in a whole variety of
disciplines,
e.g. economics, biology, political science, computer science, electrical
engineering, business, law, public policy, and many others. In fact, there
now seems to be an exponential increase in interest in applying game theory
to many of these domains. The focus of this symposium is bring together the
community working on Applied Computational Game Theory motivated by any of
these domains.

This symposium, while not limited to, builds on the AAAI Spring Symposium
2012 on Game Theory for Security, Sustainability and Health. For instance,
in the arena of security, there now seems to be an exponential increase in
interest, due to the emergence of computational game theory. With the
development of new computational approaches to game theory over the past
two decades, very large-scale real-world problems can be cast in
game-theoretic contexts and solved efficiently. For example, software
assistants have been developed for randomized patrol planning for the Los
Angeles International Airport police, the Federal Air Marshal Service,
United States Coast Guard and the Los Angeles Sheriff's Department. Also
game theory has been utilized for decentralized control, operation and
management of future generation electricity.

While there has been significant progress, there still exist many major
challenges facing the design of effective approaches to deal with the
difficulties in real-world domains. Addressing these challenges requires
collaboration from different communities including artificial intelligence,
game theory, operations research, social science, and psychology. This
symposium is structured to encourage a lively exchange of ideas between
members from these communities. We encourage all researchers working
towards applying computational game theory for real-world problems to
submit to the symposium. Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

- Real-world applications of game theory
- Game theory foundations
- Algorithms for scaling to very large games
- Behavioral game theory
- Modeling uncertainty in game theoretic applications
- Agent/human interaction for preference elicitation and optimization
- Game-theoretic treatment of disease and contagion models
- Distributed control in energy systems
- Risk Analysis
- Applied Mechanism Design for Markets, Auctions
