Hi everybody,
I found this article about a simple voting,but I am not sure about if we have to study a computer science related topic. can someone make it clear please?

"Application" paper for the Social Utility Functions work (Satisficing Games)

Here is a paper that uses the theoretical work discussed in my previous post to provide a solution to collision avoidance in Unmanned Autonomous Vehicles (UAV's).  I post this as it is what I've been reading for my own research, but not sure if it is something that will gel well with the group's interests.

Game Theory + Data base

Since this is what I'm doing now....
I'm posting a paper "On Domination Game Analysis for Microeconomic Data Mining". This might be little too theoretic but has a market model. I'll try to find couple of more interesting papers.

Social Utility Functions

Patrick, here is that paper I was telling you about.  I started writing this post on my own blog, but I'll post it here to give you a very succinct snapshot of what this paper is about...

>>>
One of the key ideas that drives the concepts and use of game theory is that of rationality.  Indeed, to say that someone should be rational is to say that they should try to maximize the amount of good that they can obtain from a strategic situation.  But what happens if one's benefits come at the expense of another's cost.  The overall benefit to the global population may not even be enough to outweigh the cost it invokes.  There is some new work being done by Wynn Stirling (BYU) on Satisficing Games.  Here is a link to the paper.

A satisficing game is one in which the notion of dual utilities is used to balance "selectability" (how effective an action is at achieving the goal) vs. "rejectability" (how efficient in terms of resources consumed the action is).

I will finish this synopsis up, but I'm hungry and need to eat!

Suggestions

I like the idea of either auction theory or voting games. I'll try find some papers tonight.

I found this job link at Facebook:

"Expert knowledge of algorithmic game theory, auction theory, mechanism design and their applications to online advertising"


Wikipedia entry about voting & game theory:

Here is a link to a paper but its a theoretical paper rather than an application.
