Overview
========
The organizing committee is delighted to invite you to contribute to
NetEcon 2019, held in conjunction with SIGMETRICS 2019, on June 28th in Phoenix, Arizona, USA.
The emergence of the Internet as a global platform for computation and communication has sparked the development and deployment of many large-scale networked systems. Often these systems involve multiple stakeholders with divergent or even competing interests. Unmitigated selfish behavior in these systems can lead to high inefficiency or even complete collapse. Research interest in the application of economic and game-theoretic principles to the design and analysis of networked systems has grown in recent years.
The aim of NetEcon is to foster discussions on the application of economic and game-theoretic models and principles to address challenges in the development of networks and network-based applications and services. The NetEcon Workshop also seeks to promote multi-disciplinary investigations into the role of incentives in communication and computation. NetEcon was established in 2006 (succeeding to the P2PECON, IBC and PINS workshops) and merged with the W-PIN workshop in 2013.
We invite submission of extended abstracts (of up to six pages) describing original research on theoretical/methodological contributions or on applications to cases of interest. It is our hope that NetEcon will serve as a feeder workshop, with expanded and more polished versions of the NetEcon extend abstracts submitted to major conferences and refereed journals of the relevant research communities.
Submission Guidelines
Submissions must be in the form of extended abstracts of at most 6 pages in the standard two-column format of ACM proceedings (including all figures, tables, references, etc.) containing all important results to allow evaluation of the novelty and scope of the contribution. In case 6 pages are not sufficient to provide enough information (e.g., proofs) to properly substantiate the paper's results, we encourage the authors to provide supplementary material either as a clearly marked appendix (without page limit) or by including a link to the full version of their extended abstract. Such supplementary material will, however, be read only at the discretion of the PC members and will not appear in the proceedings in case of acceptance.
Papers should be submitted through the submission website at

List of Topics
Topics of interest to NetEcon'19 include but are not restricted to interactions of networks and:
- Resource and information pricing: cloud computing, network externalities, ride-sharing
- Security and privacy: valuation of personal data, fairness, security games, social media
- Markets, mechanism design, and incentives: dynamic matching, spam prevention, incentive-aware protocols, peer-to-peer, platform economics
- Auctions: spectrum, online advertising, crowdsourcing, data marketplaces
- Learning: reinforcement learning, behavioral models, social learning, network formation
We welcome methods in any combination of pure theory, applied modelling, empirical studies, and simulations or experiments. Work rooted in computer science, economics, game theory, and/or operations research are all within the scope of this workshop.

Publication
Note that authors for whom publication of a 6-page extended abstract in the NetEcon proceedings would preclude later publication of an expanded version in the relevant venue may elect to contribute only a one-page abstract of their submitted extended abstract to the NetEcon proceedings. Such an abstract should include the URL of a working paper or preprint that contains the main results presented at the NetEcon workshop. Authors can make this decision after receiving a notice of acceptance.
The workshop proceedings will be published by ACM and available through the ACM Digital Library (DL). Authors will need to assign publication rights to ACM either in the form of a copyright assignment or a license grant as described on ACM’s copyright policy page. In addition, a table-of-content of the workshop’s papers will be posted that will offer permanent free access to the DL version of the papers using the ACM OpenTOC service.
