Game theory seminar

Under the title Game Theory in Smart Grids [NOPT057], an accompanying saminar for Critical Distribution System (CRISDIS) project (coordinated by prof. M. Loebl) takes place. Its goals are to deal with problem connected to pandemic Covid-19.

The seminar takes place every Tuesday at 9:00 through ZOOM platform (if you are interested, email cerny@kam.mff.cuni.cz for login details).

In its first part, the seminar will be focused on the notion of fairness in the context of (cooperative) game theory. The goal is to study and possibly come up with a definition of fairness suitable for the CRISDIS project. Several existing papers and results will be presented and a discussion will follow.

You can attend the seminar and listen to interesting topics from the (cooperative) game theory. If you want to actively participate, you can study and present a certain topic, participate in the research in the area of game theory and possibly, lay a ground for your bachelor's or master's thesis.
