Acknowledgments

The selection of papers submitted to a special issue in a new and emerging field determines a quite difficult task, since the combination of newly found evidences, the early stages of research as such, and the archival quality of papers have to be considered as a whole. Therefore, the three guest editors are very pleased to have been able to select 7 papers out of 28 submitted in a thorough, anonymous, and very stringent review process.

Thus, the team of guest editors would like to thank all

Tuan Anh Trinh received his Ph.D. in Computer Science from the Budapest University of Technology and Economics (BME). He then founded and is the Head of the Network Economics Group at BME. His recent research interests include architectural and socio-economic issues of the Future Internet, game theoretic modeling of communication systems, economics-inspired system design, green networking, and fairness issues in resource allocation problems in the Internet, sustainability issues of the Future
