Copenhagen Business School

Workshop and Summer School organized by
CFEM, www.cfem.dk
Center for Research in the Foundations of Electronic Markets
New Trends in Mechanism Design will bring together researchers from
economics and computer science working on the design and analysis of
economic mechanisms and on applications of such mechanism to solve
real-life economic problems for companies, organizations and
governments. The workshop will cover both the design of mechanisms using
game theoretical analysis of incentives, and the calibration of
mechanisms using experimental techniques. A main focus of the workshop
will be contributions from computer science to the field of mechanism
design. Over the last decade, such contributions have intensified due to
the challenges raised by new application domains in the age of the
Internet, in some case leading to exciting new theoretical models. The
applications considered at the workshop include (but are not restricted
to) auctions, including procurement auctions, combinatorial auctions,
sale of digital goods, online advertising, virtual sales of production
and storage capacity, pricing and tariff schemes, cost allocation
mechanisms, matching systems, regulatory mechanisms like yardstick
competition, and benchmarking.
The workshop will be organized with only one stream of presentations.
The presentations will include talks from leading invited scholars, a
limited number of contributed long talks, as well as two sessions with
contributed short (5-10 minutes) presentations of key ideas and findings
and panel discussions on key challenges. A tutorial on mechanism design
for students and other newcomers to the field is held in the beginning
of the week. The program will allow for plenty of interaction between
participants.
To submit a talk (long or short) for consideration, please send an
abstract or a full paper by email to cfem@cs.au.dk before May 1st,
2011. The notification date is July 1st, 2011. Registration for the
workshop begins June 1st, 2011, at www.cfem.dk.
