Comment/Description

Many every-day processes can seen as a game between autonomous interacting players, where each player acts strategically in order to pursue her own objectives. This lecture is an introduction to game-theoretic concepts and techniques, mainly with connections to applications. Use-cases are distributed systems, auctions, online-markets, resource allocation, and traffic networks. The goal of the lecture is to provide an overview over state-of-the-art results in the area of algorithmic game theory. Main topics that we will cover in the course are \begin{itemize} \item Strategic Games and Efficiency of Equilibria \item Auctions, Truthfulness and VCG-mechanisms \item Cooperative Games \item Social Choice \end{itemize}

The lectures and homework sheets will be in English language. If all participants agree, the exercise session could be held in German. If there is an oral exam, the language can be chosen by the candidate. In case of a written exam the questions will be in English, answering them in German or English is fine.
