School of Information professor John Chuang will be delivering the keynote address at next week's GameNets conference in Shanghai, China. GameNets 2011 is the 2nd International ICST Conference on Game Theory for Networks.
Professor Chuang's research focuses on economics-informed design of networks and distributed systems, including incentive mechanisms for peer-to-peer networks, economics of information security, economics of network architectures, and information & communications technologies and development (ICTD)
His talk, entitled “Incentive Dynamics of Interdependent Network Security”, will cover strategic trade-offs between protection-based and insurance-based risk mitigation alternatives, the role of experts and intermediaries, and the scalability of game models for Internet-scale security threats.
