Workshop

MAPLE2019, organized by the ALGADIMAR PRIN Project, is the second event organized in Italy exclusively focused on algorithmic game theory and its applications. The goal is to bring together scholars that apply algorithmic game theory to a variety of different contexts. The program includes about 30 talks spanning a wide range of topics: from pure theory (including microeconomics, theoretical computer science, learning theory) to industrial applications. MAPLE2019 is supported by GAMENET.

Local chairs: Nicola Gatti and Roberto Lucchetti.
