At Spotify we try to connect millions of people with their favorite music and build the best music service in the world. We believe that music should be easily accessible and than listening to music improves everybody lives. But achieving this goal is not easy and our team needs to face all kind of problems: from scalability issues to coordinate 200 engineers working together. One of our backend engineers will talk about how Spotify solves these issues from the moment you press Play.

Game theoretical techniques have recently become prevalent in a wide range of engineering applications, notably, in wireless and communication networks. With the emergence of novel networking paradigms such as cognitive radio or cooperative communications and the need for self-organizing and decentralized networks, it has become imperative to seek game theoretical tools that allow studying and analyzing the interactions of the nodes in future communication networks. In this talk, following a brief overview on the fundamentals and potential of game theory, we put a particular emphasis on coalitional game theory, which is a branch of game theory that deals with cooperative behavior.
