FP7 Projects

CONGAS

Participants : Eitan Altman, Konstantin Avrachenkov, Alexandre Reiffers.

• Title: Dynamics and coevolution in multi level strategic interaction games

• Type: Collaborative project

• Subprogramme Area: FET Proactive: Dynamics of Multi-Level Complex Systems

• Instrument: Specific Targeted Research Project (STREP)

• Duration: October 1, 2012 – September 30, 2015

• Coordinator: Center for Research and Telecommunication Experimentation for Network Communities (CREATE-NET) (Italy)

• Other partners:

  • Université D'Avignon et des Pays de Vaucluse (UAPV) (France)

  • Technische Universiteit Delft (TUDelft) (The Netherlands)

  • Imperial College of Science, Technology and Medicine (IMPERIAL) (United Kingdom)

  • Universityá di Pisa (UNIPI) (Italy)

  • Technion - Israel Institute of Techonology (TECH) (Israel)

• 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 (b) the competition of information in social networks.

K. Avrachenkov is the coordinator for Inria . E. Altman is a scientific coordinator of the project.

• Abstract: TREND aims at integrating the activities of major European players in networking, including manufacturers, operators, research centers, to quantitatively assess the energy demand of current and future telecom infrastructures, and to design energy-efficient, scalable and sustainable future networks.

Maestro 's task is to propose and analyze energy-aware network cellular network design and management, in collaboration with the other partners.
