Preface
Game theory has recently been enjoying increased popularity in the research community, as it provides a new perspective on optimization, networking, and distributed control problems. It incorporates paradigms such as Nash equilibrium and incentive compatibility, it can help quantify individual preferences of decisionmakers, and it has an inherently distributed nature. Consequently, game theoretic models have been applied to a variety of problem domains ranging from economics to computer science, networking, and security. Game theoretic models provide not only a basis for analysis but also for design of network protocols and decentralized control schemes. This makes it attractive as a theoretical framework for the desi
