Participants : Eitan Altman, Konstantin Avrachenkov, Yonathan Portilla, Alexandre Reiffers.

• Project title: Dynamics and coevolution in multi level strategic interaction games

• Type: COOPERATION

• Challenge: Future and Emerging Technologies

• Instrument: Specific Targeted Research Project

• Objective: FET Proactive: Dynamics of Multi-Level Complex Systems (DyM-CS)

• Duration: October 2012 - September 2015

• Coordinator: Francesco De Pellegrini (CREATE-NET)

• Scientific Coordinator: Eitan Altman (Inria)

• Other partners: Center for Research and Telecommunication Experimentation for Network Communities (Italy), Univ. d'Avignon et des Pays de Vaucluse (France), Technische Universiteit Delft (The Netherlands), Imperial College of Science, Technology and Medicine (United Kingdom), Univ. di Pisa (Italy) and Technion - Israel Institute of Techonology (Israel)

• Inria contact: Konstantin Avrachenkov

• Abstract: CONGAS will develop new mathematical models and tools, rooted in game theory, for the analysis, prediction and control of dynamical processes in complex systems. It will provide a coherent theoretical framework for understanding the emergence of structure and patterns in these systems, accounting for interactions spanning various scales in time and space, and acting at different structural and aggregation levels.

  Maestro 's task is to develop game theoretic models to model (a) the formation of technological and social network; (b) the routing for competing agents; and (c) the competition of information in social networks.
