This contributed volume offers a collection of papers presented at the 2016 Network Games
Control and Optimization conference (NETGCOOP) held at the University of Avignon in France
November 23-25 2016. These papers highlight the increasing importance of network control and
optimization in many networking application domains such as mobile and fixed access networks
computer networks social networks transportation networks and more recently electricity
grids and biological networks. Covering a wide variety of both theoretical and applied topics
in the areas listed above the authors explore several conceptual and algorithmic tools that
are needed for efficient and robust control operation performance optimization and better
understanding the relationships between entities that may be acting cooperatively or selfishly
in uncertain and possibly adversarial environments. As such this volume will be of interest to
applied mathematicians computer scientists engineers and researchers in other related
fields.
