Tutorial 1 (9:00–10:30 and 11:00–12:30, December 8): Tournament Design

Organizer: Ariel Schvartzman (Google Research)

Introduction: How should the organizer of a round-robin tournament choose one of n teams as the winner in a fair manner? This is a question that has practical implications for everything from major sports competitions, like the World Cup and the Olympic Games, to theoretical implications for mechanism design and computational social choice. In this tutorial, we aim to present a growing line of work that addresses this question and highlight some elusive open questions and conjectures.

Tutorial 2 (9:00–10:30 and 11:00–12:30, December 8): Truth by Design: Proper Scoring Rules from Contracts to Markets

Organizers: Fang-Yi Yu (George Mason University); Xintong Wang (Rutgers University)

Introduction: As forecasts steer real decisions—from allocating vaccines to pricing risk, reliable evaluation and incentives are essential. This tutorial surveys proper scoring rules, the backbone of probabilistic forecast evaluation and designing truthful reporting mechanisms. We introduce proper scoring rules as contracts that reward accurate forecasts and develop their geometric (convex-analytic) intuition. We then generalize to property elicitation, which characterizes which statistics of an outcome (e.g., means, quantiles) are elicitable, and to surrogate (proxy) scoring, which evaluates forecasts using stochastically related observations.

Building on this foundation, we survey applications of proper scoring rules. First, information elicitation aims to design payments to elicit truthful reports or even motivate costly information acquisition. We will survey a family of peer prediction mechanisms using proper scoring rules. Second, prediction markets, which serve as automatic market makers for prediction, use proper scoring rules to design trades that aggregate predictions in real time. We will focus on designing efficient algorithms for markets when the prediction space is large. We close with related topics—wagering mechanisms, forecast competitions and aggregation, and evaluating (multi-)calibration.

Tutorial 3 (14:00–15:00 and 15:30–17:30, December 8): Differential Privacy for Strategic Information Sharing and Learning: Foundations, Mechanisms, and Applications

Organizers: M. Amin Rahimian (University of Pittsburgh); Juba Ziani (Georgia Institute of Technology); Marios Papachristou (Arizona State University); Yuxin Liu (University of Pittsburgh)

Introduction: The increasing prevalence of data-driven decision making requires robust mechanisms to protect sensitive information while allowing its utility for collective benefit. Differential Privacy (DP) offers a rigorous framework for achieving strong privacy guarantees. This tutorial will explore how differential privacy can be leveraged to facilitate secure and privacy-preserving information sharing in various contexts. We will dive into the fundamental concepts of DP and discuss its application in scenarios where data are acquired, shared, aggregated, or processed to derive collective insights, ensuring individual contributions remain private.

The tutorial will cover recent advances in applying DP to practical challenges in information exchange, including methods for private estimation, learning, and inference, as well as incentive compatible and privacy-preserving mechanisms for optimal data sharing and acquisition. Attendees will gain an understanding of the trade-offs involved in designing DP mechanisms for real-world systems and learn about the techniques that enable effective information flow while mitigating privacy risks. Our discussion will highlight the importance of careful design to balance privacy with the goals of data utility, sharing, and collaborative knowledge generation, as well as open problems and research questions of interest to the WINE community in this space.

Tutorial 4 (14:00–15:00 and 15:30–17:30, December 8): Information Design Perspective on Calibration

Organizers: Wei Tang (Chinese University of Hong Kong); Yiding Feng (Hong Kong University of Science and Technology)

Introduction: This tutorial explores the role of information design in studying and improving calibration for decision making. Calibration is crucial in scenarios where accurate predictions or decisions based on uncertain or incomplete information are necessary, such as in online markets, machine learning, or healthcare. In the first part, we will introduce the foundational concepts of calibration, the challenges in decision-making under uncertainty, and how information design techniques can be leveraged to study and enhance calibration. In the second part, we will delve into advanced topics, including applications of calibration in modern settings. The tutorial aims to equip participants with a deep understanding of how to analyze and improve calibration in decision-making processes using principles from information design.

Call for Papers

---

Over the past two decades, researchers from fields such as theoretical computer science, artificial intelligence, operations research, and economics have joined forces to explore the interplay of incentives and computation. These topics are of particular importance for the Internet and enable the interaction of large and diverse populations.

The Conference on Web and Internet Economics (WINE, originally known as the Workshop on Internet & Network Economics until 2013) is an interdisciplinary platform for exchanging ideas and findings on incentives and computation from these varied fields. The WINE conference has been held annually since its inception in 2005, and WINE 2026 (https://wine2026conf.github.io/) will carry on this tradition, taking place on December 1–4, 2026, at University of Hong Kong. WINE 2026 will be an in-person event.

The program will feature keynotes, tutorials, and paper presentations. All paper submissions will be peer-reviewed and evaluated for their originality, technical soundness, significance, and overall contribution.

FOCS, SAGT and AFT Submissions

Authors with submissions under review at FOCS 2026, SAGT 2026 and AFT 2026 may simultaneously submit the same work to WINE 2026. However, if a submission is accepted to those conferences, the authors must promptly withdraw the corresponding submission from WINE 2026. The scheduled notification date of FOCS 2026 is July 3, that of SAGT 2026 is July 9 and that of AFT 2026 is July 15.

Invited Talks

The program will feature three keynote talks. The keynote speakers and the topics of their talks will be announced soon.

Submission Server

Submissions should be made at HotCRP. The system will open at a later time..

Submission Format

Authors are invited to submit papers presenting original research on any research topic related to WINE 2026.

Submissions must be anonymous (see below). A submission should start with the title of the paper followed by a brief summary of the paper’s contributions. This should then be followed by a technical exposition of the main ideas and techniques used to achieve these results, including motivation and a clear comparison with related work. Even if the authors choose the one-page abstract option for the proceedings, they must still submit the full paper as their initial submission to facilitate a comprehensive and rigorous review process.

Submissions must not exceed 12 single-spaced pages excluding the title page and references, and must use a font size of at least 11 points with margins of at least one inch on all sides. If the authors believe that more details are essential to substantiate the claims of the paper, they may include a clearly marked appendix of arbitrary length that will be read at the discretion of the Program Committee. Submissions that clearly deviate from the specified format and length risk desk rejection.

The proceedings of the conference will be published by Springer in the ARCoSS/LNCS series, in an electronic version, and will be available for downloading at the conference. Accepted papers will be allocated 18 pages including references in the LNCS format in the proceedings. Submissions are encouraged, though not required, to follow the LNCS format (in which case the authors may follow the font size and page margins of LNCS). More information about the LNCS format can be found on the author instructions page of Springer.

WINE 2026 will use double-blind reviewing like all other major conferences. Submissions should not reveal the identity of the authors in any way. In particular, authors’ names, affiliations, and email addresses should not appear anywhere in the submission. (In LNCS, \author{} and \institute{} fields should not be included.) Authors should refer to their prior work in a neutral manner (for example, say “XYZ showed” instead of “we showed”). Submissions may include work that has been publicly presented (as long as it has not appeared in published proceedings) or posted on arXiv or similar online repositories, provided that the submission itself is properly anonymized.

Questions regarding the submissions can be directed to the Program Committee Chairs at wine2026chairs@gmail.com.

Rebuttal

The review process includes a rebuttal phase in August, giving authors the opportunity to address questions and concerns raised by the Program Committee.

Conflict of Interest Policy

A conflict of interest (COI) is limited to the following categories:

• Family member or close friend
• Ph.D. advisor or advisee (no time limit), or postdoctoral or undergraduate mentor or mentee within the past five years
• Person with the same affiliation
• Involved in an alleged incident of harassment (it is not required that the incident be reported)
• Reviewer owes the author a favor (e.g., recently requested a reference letter)
• Frequent or recent collaborator whom you believe cannot objectively review your work

Authors should update their HotCRP account information to declare COIs with (Senior) Program Committee members.

Declaring COIs prevents the specified person from reviewing a paper, thereby constraining the matching process and potentially negatively impacting review quality. For this reason, COIs should not be declared automatically based on a prior relationship (coauthor, friend, colleague in the same institution, etc.).

(Senior) Program Committee members can also declare COIs with authors as well as with specific papers.

Policy Against Plagiarism

WINE 2026 adopts the official ACM policy against plagiarism.

Paper Awards

A Best Paper Award and a Best Student Paper Award will be presented. Only papers published in full length in the proceedings will be eligible for consideration. Up to 3 additional papers will be selected for Outstanding Paper Awards. In total, the awards represent roughly the top 5~7% of accepted papers.

One-Page Abstract Option

We offer the one-page abstract option to accommodate publishing norms in various fields where journals may decline to consider work that has appeared in preliminary form in conference proceedings. This allows authors of accepted papers to request that only a one-page abstract be included in the proceedings, accompanied by a URL linking to the full version of the paper. Authors should guarantee the URL to be reliable for at least two years. Even if authors choose the one-page abstract option for the proceedings, they must still submit the full paper as their initial submission to facilitate a comprehensive and rigorous review process.

Simultaneous Submission

The following submissions are not allowed:

• Papers that are currently under review at another archival conference, with the only exception of FOCS 2026, SAGT 2026 and AFT 2026 (see “FOCS, SAGT and AFT Submissions” above)
• Papers that have been published or accepted for publication in a journal or archival conference before the WINE 2026 submission deadline
• Papers in which one or more of the contributions have previously been published or accepted for publication in a journal or archival conference

Simultaneous submission of results to a journal is allowed only if the authors intend to publish the paper as a one-page abstract in WINE 2026. Papers that are accepted and appear as a one-page abstract may later be submitted to a journal, but may not be submitted to any other archival conference.

ACM TEAC Special Issue for WINE 2026

A special issue of ACM Transactions on Economics and Computation (ACM TEAC) will be organized in connection with WINE 2026. A selection of top papers presented at the conference will be invited to submit extended versions to the special issue, subject to the standard peer-review process of ACM TEAC. Further details will be communicated to the authors of invited papers in due course.

If the authors of a paper accepted to WINE 2026 wish to use the Forward-to-Journal option, they may choose to submit a one-page extended abstract by the camera-ready deadline for the conference proceedings. They may then submit their journal version to the selected journal by January 22, 2027.Notice that most Econ, OR and MS journals only allow a one-page extended abstract at archival conferences, in order for the journal submission to be considered. The authors must follow the specific journal’s policy when using the Forward-to-Journal option.

The cover letter to the journal should specify that the submission is part of the WINE 2026 Forward-to-Journal process, and specify how the journal submission differs from the version in the conference proceedings. The authors should also include a formal response document to the WINE 2026 conference reviews and explain how those reviews were addressed in the revised manuscript. In case the particular journal of choice needs a de-anonymized version of the conference reviews on the submission, WINE 2026 will provide them upon request by the journal. Note that a journal’s participation in the WINE 2026 Forward-to-Journal option does not mean that other forms of previous publication of the submission are acceptable for the journal.

The journal’s department editors and associate editors may use the conference reviews to inform their decision-making, in any manner deemed appropriate by the journal. We suspect that the associate editors might choose referees from the set of conference reviewers, especially if they found the conference reviews informative. We emphasize that the conference reviewers are not required to accept such review requests, and that journals are not required to accept these submissions (and may even choose to desk-reject them depending on fit).

Call for Tutorials

---

We invite you to submit proposals for tutorials at WINE 2025. Tutorials are planned to be held in person on December 8 as part of the conference program.

Tutorials provide a valuable opportunity to educate the community, especially younger scholars and researchers, about emerging research areas and topics that deserve greater attention. They offer a structured, formal setting to introduce colleagues to an area of interest. This year, while we welcome alternative formats (which should be described in your proposal), we recommend two possible options: (1) a two-hour session comprising two one-hour blocks of introductory material; or (2) a two-hour session with one hour of introductory material followed by a second hour featuring shorter talks that highlight recent research developments related to the tutorial content. In both cases, the two blocks would be separated by a short break (e.g., coffee break).

Tutorial proposals should be 2–3 pages long and contain:

• Title of the tutorial and brief (1–2 paragraph) abstract
• Keywords and sub-areas relevant to the WINE community
• Names, affiliations, contact information, and short biographies of the organizers
• Suggested format and duration of the tutorial
• Outline of the content
• Rationale for the tutorial (e.g., timeliness and goals)
• Target audience and required prior knowledge
• Other venues where a similar tutorial has been presented (if any)
• Any special accommodations required for the tutorial

Tutorial proposals should be emailed to wine2025tutorials@gmail.com. We look forward to reading your proposals!

Important Dates

• Deadline for submitting proposals: August 22, 2025
• Decision announcement: September 19, 2025
• Tutorials day: December 8, 2025

Lodging Options

There are three lodging options that are within walking distance of the conference venue, and many more that are a short drive from it. The three hotels closest to the conference are:

• The Rutgers University Inn is a nice lower-priced option that is collocated with the conference venue. The Inn is relatively small, so if this is your preferred option, you should book as soon as possible. It offers great accessibility to the conference site, but it has no on-site restaurant and relatively few dining options in the immediate vicinity. That said, there are many dining options in downtown New Brunswick about a mile (1.6 kilometers) away. There is free parking on site at the Rutgers Inn.
• The Heldrich Hotel is a more upscale lodging option in the heart of New Brunswick, with a variety of restaurants within easy walking distance. It is a frequent choice of participants at DIMACS events. The hotel is about 1.1 miles (1.8 kilometers) from the conference venue. It has parking nearby, at an additional cost.
• The Hyatt Regency Hotel is another upscale lodging option in downtown New Brunswick, with a variety of restaurants within easy walking distance. The hotel is about 1.5 miles (2.4 kilometers) from the conference venue and has on-site parking at an additional cost.

Transportation

Nearby major airports include

• Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR), which is the closest
• John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK)
• LaGuardia Airport (LGA)
• Philadelphia International Airport (PHL)
• Trenton–Mercer Airport (TTN)

The NJ Transit connects the EWR airport to the New Brunswick station, which is about 1.5 miles (2.4 kilometers) from the main conference venue.
