Meeting Log

Today we met to discuss which paper we would pursue.

In the end everyone agreed that Mehmet's paper on reputation management in an auction game was the best candidate paper the reasons discussed were:

1. Has actual experimental results and comparison
2. Discusses Bayesian and Evolutionary games so it relates to class material.
3. Was long and dense enough to create several slides and require some indepth discussions.
4. Was on the topic of Auctioning, which we have found is a desired skill in a real-world job market.

Furthermore, we eliminated other papers on the following basis:

1. Patrick's social network paper was too short and was on the Shapley value which may not tie that closely into lecture material.
2. Nate's paper was on Satisficing games which also may not tie that well into lecture material, and satisficing games seem a complex subject.
3. Guan's paper, while an application of game theory, was too theoretical with theorems and proofs and no experimental results.
4. Joo's paper the experimental results did not seem as easy to discuss as Mehmet's paper.

We've all agreed to read the Bayesian paper in depth and try to update the blog with questions/comments/etc. based on this thorough reading.
