Abstract :
Algorithmic challenges arise in many emerging areas of computing: security, bioinformatics, and algorithmic game theory are examples. In the area of algorithmic game theory, agents may be in varying degrees of collaboration and competition, and questions about equilibria arise. In the area of power management, improvements in battery tech-nology for mobile devices may lag behind improvements in hardware. Online algorithms may allow power management schemes to schedule resources without full knowledge of future demands. In information security, secure dissemination of information, cyberforensics, and prevention of cybercrime are in demand.
