Abstract

Game Theory is the study of multi-person behavior where the decision of one player affects the decisions of others; concepts such as Nash Equilibrium, Pareto optimality etc. analyze the optimal strategies of the players in a particular situation. In Software Architecture Design, various Quality Attributes (QAs) affect each other and the designer makes decisions based on the effectiveness of an architecture solution (AS) at the given scenario, its side-effects on other QAs, and priorities of QAs. One way to automate the architecture design process is to model the conflicting behavior of QAs as a game-theoretic problem and apply the concepts in game theory for optimal design decision analysis.

Differences between the iterated prisoner's dilemma and the chicken game under noisy conditions
SAC '02: Proceedings of the 2002 ACM symposium on Applied computing

The prisoner's dilemma has evolved into a standard game for analyzing the success of cooperative strategies in repeated games. With the aim of investigating the behavior of strategies in some alternative games we analyzed the outcome of iterated games ...
Discovering theorems in game theory: Two-person games with unique pure Nash equilibrium payoffs

In this paper we provide a logical framework for two-person finite games in strategic form, and use it to design a computer program for discovering some classes of games that have unique pure Nash equilibrium payoffs. The classes of games that we ...

Abstract
( K , s , t )-Wythoff’s game is a generalization of the classical ( s , t )-Wythoff’s game, where a player is allowed to remove a multiple of K tokens in each move (K is a fixed positive integer). In this paper, we ...
