Description
This seminar discusses recent advances in algorithmic game theory and their application in scheduling and planning.(Algorithmic) game theory is conceivable as the study of mathematical models of conflict and cooperation between intelligent and rational decision-makers. Today many applications of computer science involve autonomous decision-makers \ with conflicting objectives. One application domain were computer science profi\ ts from game theoretic knowledge is networks in general and scheduling in particular.
The lecturers will discuss the following topics:
| basic models and concepts of game theory; games in extensive form; games in strategic form |
| definition and computation of Nash equilibria; overview of applications |
| basic concepts of scheduling and planning |
| applications of game theory in scheduling and planning |
