"Focusing on heterogeneous networks, this book addresses important resource management and security issues found in networks and uses theoretical tools to model them. Although it explores network design and management from the theoretical perspective of game theory and graph theory, the text also

โฆ Synopsis
I survey the literature on network formation in situations where the possible gains from cooperation of coalitions of agents are modeled by a coalitional game. I discuss the models that appear in the literature and their predictions on the networks that will be formed according to various equilibrium concepts, as well as the eventual payoffs to the players in equilibrium networks.
