Applications in counterterrorism and corporate competition have led to the development of new methods for the analysis of decision-making when there are intelligent opponents and uncertain outcomes. This field is sometimes called adversarial risk analysis. In this paper, we illustrate a general framework developed for supporting a decision maker in a problem with intelligent opponents through a...

The video game industry is an area of high and increasing profitability, with $US 6 billion spent by U.S. consumers alone in the year 2001 [1]. In order to attract buyers, there is increasing demand to simulate human opponents artificially within games. As of present, artificial opponents commonly have their game-playing strategies coded in advance, often resulting in overly simplistic and pred...

Electronic Commerce has been a very significant commercial phenomenon in recent years, and autonomous agents are widely adopted by business or individuals in electronic marketplaces to fulfill time consuming tasks in trading. Agent negotiation mechanisms are usually applied between conflicted agents in order to reach a mutually beneficial agreement. Prediction of trading agents' strategies and ...

Post-conflict affiliation between former opponents or between one of the former opponents and bystanders might have the function of conflict management, which reduces the costs associated with aggressions. One of the suggested functions of post-conflict affiliation is decreased renewed aggressions directed from aggressors to victims. However, the effect of post-conflict affiliation on renewed a...

Many autonomous agents, such as intelligent vehicles, are inherently required to interact with one another. Game theory provides a natural mathematical tool for robot motion planning in interactive settings. However, tractable algorithms problems usually rely on strong assumption, namely that the objectives of all players scene known. To make tools applicable ego-centric only local information,...

The paper is devoted to a generalization of static and dynamic mathematical models of behavior with explicitly stated reflexive models of agents' decision-making. Reflexion is considered as agent's beliefs about nature, opponents' beliefs and opponents' decision-making principles in the framework of game theory, collective behavior theory and learning models.
