Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Games on networks, including graphical games, is a novel, rich, and dynamic area of study at the intersection between game theory and network science. These games are often used to examine the strategic interactions among agents who are interconnected through a network. These games significantly expand the literature on classical game theory and find their relevance and impacts by relating strategically stable outcomes to network structures in a wide array of applications, from biology to social sciences to financial systems.
This Special Issue seeks contributions on the most recent advances in this broad field. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Novel network game formulations and solution concepts.
- Computation and algorithms related to graphical games.
- Network game analysis, learning, and inference methodologies.
- Common and public goods in networks.
- Computational techniques for solving network games.
- Intersection of network games and AI.
- Adversarial network games.

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 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
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 single-blind 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.
