The 9th Workshop on Internet Economics (WIE 2018)

The 9th Workshop on Internet Economics (WIE 2018)

On December 12-13, 2018, CAIDA and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) hosted the (invitation-only) 9th interdisciplinary Workshop on Internet Economics (WIE) at the University of California San Diego in La Jolla, CA.

The goal of this workshop series is to provide a forum for researchers, commercial Internet facilities and service providers, technologists, economists, theorists, policy makers, and other stakeholders to empirically inform emerging Internet regulatory and policy debates.

Date: Dec 12 (Wed) - 13 (Thu), 2018
Place: Auditorium B210E/B211E Meeting Room,
San Diego Supercomputer Center, UC San Diego Campus, La Jolla, CA

Topics of Interest

This year's focus is the measurement and analysis of progress toward a given Internet policy goal.

White paper assignment: pick a policy goal, or fear, at any layer of the stack, and drill down into methods and data for empirical analysis of the ecosystem against that goal/fear. We'd especially like to foster discussion of:

  • how should/could specific data be gathered (or mandated-via-reporting)
  • should that data be provisioned (shared) by public sector, or be encouraged(?) and provisioned (shared) by private sector, either commercially or academic/non profit?

Format

As in previous years, the format of this meeting is a series of focused sessions around specific, pre-selected topics. Presenters will prepare short talks (10 minutes) on issues related to the topics.

Not everyone will give a prepared talk, but we expect everyone to participate in the discussions, as well as provide input, writing, and/or feedback on the report we'll publish within shortly after the workshop. Our goal is to produce a public workshop report, but the discussions themselves (and the identity of specific speakers) will be specifically off the record.

    9836 Hopkins Drive , La Jolla, CA 92093 is the nearest street address most GPSes/maps recognize. This should take you to a small turn-in in front of the SDSC East Entrance / Auditorium, with a building sign visible that reads "Halicioğlu Data Science Center".

  • Parking on campus
    The most convenient parking is in the Hopkins parking structure at Hopkins Dr and Voigt Dr, just south of SDSC.

    Parking Permits: Parking permits are required to park on UC San Diego Campus.

    Parking legally is the attendee's responsibility. It is recommended you find parking at the Hopkins Parking Structure. Near the elevators will be a parking permit machine that sell passes for $30/day. Alternatively, use the ParkMobile app to buy a permit for  Zone 4736  (if parking at Hopkins).

    From the Hopkins Structure, after setting your permit, take the elevators to the 2nd floor and walk safely out to the street Hopkins Dr. to the Supercomputer Center. The auditorium is on the left just before the stairs, labeled Auditorium or B210E/B211E Meeting Room.
