ABSTRACT
The Quest for Resilient Mechanism Design
Mechanism design aims at engineering games that, when played by
selfish players, yield outcomes satisfying a desired property.
Such engineered games, however, are typically vulnerable to
computational complexity, privacy, and collusion. Developing
a theory of mechanism design resilient to such "forces" will
require a totally new framework: techniques, solution concepts,
and benchmarks. We shall advocate this point using auctions
as an example.

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
|
Professor Silvio Micali received his Laurea in Mathematics
from the University of Rome, and his PhD in Computer Science
from the University of California at Berkeley. Since 1983,
he has been on the MIT faculty, in Electrical Engineering and
Computer Science Department, where he is Ford Professor of
Engineering. Silvio's research interests are cryptography,
zero knowledge, pseudo-random generation, secure protocols,
and mechanism design. Silvio has received the Turing Award
(in computer science), the Gödel Prize (in theoretical
computer science), and the RSA prize (in cryptography).
He is a member of the National Academy of Sciences, the
National Academy of Engineering, and the American Academy
of Arts and Sciences.

ABOUT PROF. I. G. SARMA MEMORIAL LECTURE
This prestigious lecture series was instituted in 1997
in memory of Professor I.G. Sarma, the founding Chairman
of the Department of Computer Science and Automation
(then called the School of Automation) during the formative
years of 1971-1979. His tenure as the chairman, Centre for
Continuing Education and later as the Dean, Faculty of
Engineering was marked by many important academic and
education initiatives being launched at the Indian Institute
of Science. Professor Sarma mainly worked in the areas of
Flight Control, Guidance, and Simulation and closely interacted with many of the Aerospace R&D and Flight Vehicle
Design Organisations such as the NAL, DRDL, VSSC, and
ADA among others.
The talk by Professor Silvio Micali will be the tenth in the
series of lectures.
