To Cooperate or Not to Cooperate: Why Behavioural Mechanisms Matter

Mutualistic cooperation often requires multiple individuals to behave in a coordinated fashion. Hence, while the evolutionary stability of mutualistic cooperation poses no particular theoretical difficulty, its evolutionary emergence faces a chicken and egg problem: an individual cannot benefit from cooperating unless other individuals already do so. Here, we use evolutionary robotic simulation...

Spectrum Sensing: To Cooperate or Not to Cooperate?

While it is well accepted that cooperative spectrum sensing will significantly improve the sensing performance, the necessity of cooperation is not sufficiently appreciated. In this paper, by analyzing the spectrum sensing problem from the system perspective, we show that without cooperation, the performance will suffer from a fundamental tradeoff between reliability and efficiency. However, if...

Make , Buy , or Cooperate ?

In 1937, Ronald Coase argued that firms will exist only in environments in which firms perform better than markets could. To create space for firms, Coase suggested that some environments might be plagued by “transaction costs” that cause markets to perform poorly. Coase’s paper was to become the cornerstone of the economic theory of the firm (i.e., the “make or buy” decision: which activities ...
