Real World Applications of Game Theory
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Recent years have seen an increase in the use of game theoretic concepts and tools (e.g., equilibria, stability properties, replicator dynamics, etc.) for real world applications in areas as diverse as robotics, big data, financial markets, energy (smart grid), security, social welfare, and space applications. Therefore, we are excited to invite you to submit an original research paper for a Special Issue of Games devoted to the study of the application of such game theoretic principles to real world problems including, but not limited to, coordination in multi-robot systems (e.g., collision avoidance and patrolling), agent-based economics for auctions and markets (e.g., foreign exchange), security games, modelling and optimization in smart grids, and crowdsourcing.
We believe that this will be a great opportunity to further emphasize and trigger the powerful role that tools from Game Theory can play in a variety of practical applications. We envisage a fairly broad scope for this Special Issue, and we will consider all studies that report on the use or deployment of game theoretic and decision theoretic concepts in real world applications. The keywords below are merely indicative.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the Special Issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a double-anonymized peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Games is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 1600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
