SUMMARY:Incentive Mechanisms for User-provided Networks
DESCRIPTION:The increasing mobile data demand and the proliferation of
 advanced handheld devices place the user-provided networks (UPNs) at a
 conspicuous position in next-generation network architectures. There has
 been growing consensus that UPNs can play a crucial role both in
 self-organizing and in operator-controlled wireless networks\, as they
 enable the exploitation of the diverse communication needs and resources of
 different users. Today\, many innovative startups such as Open Garden\,
 M-87\, and Karma\, as well as major network operators such as Deutsche
 Telekom\, Telefonica\, Comcast\, and China Mobile Hong Kong\, propose or
 even implement such models. However\, in UPNs both the availability and the
 demand for Internet access rely on user-owned network equipment.
 Therefore\, the success of this type of networks depends on the
 participation of users. In this talk\, we analyze the design challenges of
 incentive mechanisms for encouraging user engagement in user-provided
 networks. Motivated by recently launched business models\, we focus on
 mobile UPNs where the energy consumption and data usage costs are
 critical\, and have a large impact on users' decisions both for requesting
 and offering UPN services. We outline two novel incentive schemes that have
 been recently proposed for such UPNs\, and discuss the open issues that
 must be further addressed.\n\nBiography: George Iosifidis holds an
 Engineering Degree in Telecommunications (Greek Air Force Academy\, 2000)\,
 a M.Sc. and a Ph.D. degree in communication networks (University of
 Thessaly\, 2007 and 2012). Currently\, he is a post-doc researcher at
 CERTH/ITI and University of Thessaly\, Volos. His research interests lie at
 the nexus of network optimization and network economics\, with emphasis on
 spectrum economics\, autonomous networks\, small cell networks\,
 user-centric networks and mobile data offloading. More information can be
