-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Scope:

Over the past fifteen years, research in theoretical computer science,
artificial intelligence, and microeconomics has joined forces to tackle
problems involving incentives and computation. This research field,
commonly named Algorithmic Game Theory, is becoming increasingly more
relevant.

The main aim of this one-day long workshop is to bring together the rich
variety of scientists that IJCAI attracts in order to have a
multidisciplinary forum within which discuss and analyze current and novel
challenges that the research in Algorithmic Game Theory faces.

Submission:

All paper submissions will be peer-reviewed and evaluated on the basis of
the quality of their contribution, originality, soundness, and
significance. Industrial applications and position papers presenting novel
ideas, issues, challenges and directions are also welcome. Submissions are
invited in, but not limited to, the following topics:

- Algorithmic mechanism design
- Auction algorithms and analysis
- Behavioral Game Theory
- Bounded rationality
- Computational advertising
- Computational aspects of equilibria
- Computational social choice
- Convergence and learning in games
- Coalitions, coordination and collective action
- Economic aspects of security and privacy
- Economic aspects of distributed and network computing
- Information and attention economics
- Network games
- Price differentiation and price dynamics
- Social networks

Submission Guidelines:

Authors are invited to submit a paper of no more than 16 pages, including
references, in LNCS style. All submissions will be electronic via the
EasyChair page for the conference at
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=agtijcai2015. Submissions must
adhere to the specified format and length. All the technical details that
are necessary for a proper scientific evaluation of a submission must be
included in a clearly-labelled appendix, to be consulted at the discretion
of program committee members. Please note that reviewing will not be
double-blinded.

Please note that papers published recently in top AI conferences (such as
AAMAS15 and AAAI15) can be submitted,
and will be added to the program bases on available space and relevance.
Authors of relevant main track IJCAI papers will get an opportunity to
advertise their talk in a special lightning session (no need to submit,
just tell us if you are interested).

Proceedings Publication:

To widen participation and encourage discussion, there will be no formal
publication of workshop proceedings. Therefore, submissions of preliminary
work and papers to be submitted or in preparation for submission to other
major venues in the field are encouraged.

**** Journal Publication Opportunity: ****

We have made the following arrangement with the peer-reviewed, open-access
journal "Games" (http://www.mdpi.com/journal/games): pending submission of
at least 5 selected AGT at IJCAI papers to the journal,  Games will issue a
special edition  of papers from the workshop, with a rapid review
procedure. Submissions will get a *full* waiver of the 540 US$ publication
fee.
