The Internet is a complex network made of both machines and people, and hence, problems in this domain often require techniques from both algorithms and the social sciences. The RAIN (Research on Algorithms and Incentives in Networks) seminar provides a gathering place for talks and social discussion in this area.


The RAIN seminar is supported, in part, by a gift from Yahoo! and by the Computer Forum.

Prof. Rajeev Motwani was a faculty member who was one of the founding members and a moving force behind RAIN, and we miss him dearly. Rest In Peace, Rajeev.
