New York (USA) at Columbia University.
Over almost 20 years, researchers in theoretical computer science, artificial intelli-
gence, and economics have joined forces to tackle problems involving incentives and
computation. Theseproblems areofparticularimportanceinapplicationareas like the
Web and the Internet that involve large and diverse populations.
WINEisaninterdisciplinaryforumfortheexchangeofideasandscientificprogress
on incentives and computation arising from these various fields. WINE 2019 built on
thesuccessoftheWINEseries(namedWorkshoponInternetandNetworkEconomics
until 2013), which was held annually from 2005 to 2018.
The Program Committee, comprised of 42 top researchers from the field, reviewed
111 submissions and decided to accept 36 papers. Each paper had three reviews, with
additionalreviewssolicitedasneeded.WeareverygratefultotheProgramCommittee
fortheirinsightfulreviewsanddiscussions.Thereviewprocesswasconductedentirely
electronically via EasyChair – we gratefully acknowledge this support. We also thank
SpringerforprovidingtheproceedingsandofferingsupportfortheBestPaperAward.
The program included three invited talks by leading researchers in the field: Suchi
Chawla (University of Wisconsin-Madison, USA), Michael I. Jordan (University of
California, Berkeley, USA), and Tuomas Sandholm (Carnegie Mellon University,
USA).
