ToNC WorkshopEconomic Approaches and Strategic Behavior in Networks
Issues • Prescriptive versus descriptive • most things fall in the middle • settlement mechanisms • understanding the design space • Behavior considerations • programs versus humans • behavior models actors • Subset of users Byzantine
Issues (con’t) • Learning is game settings • without global info • asynchronous updates • evaluating outcomes without convergence • robustness • Coalitions • Markets for security • what would be good models that insurance companies can use • Information markets
Issues (con’t) • Reputation systems • examples: BGP updates • Reputation like E-Bay • Tit-for-Tat • Connecting crypto and Econ models • implementations • breaking crypto barriers with rationality assumptions • How you segment network services
General concerns • Scope of networking (what’s not included?) • Importance of partnership with network community (vs. isolation) • Methods vs Issues: will this lead to community fragmentation?
