abstract a quantitative framework of combination of liner programming and cooperative game theory was used in this study to analyze and model cooperative contracts in production based on rural households' resources cooperation in firoozabad plain. revenues and costs in cooperation game theory have important rule to get agreement. transaction cost function was used in cooperative costs accountin...

This paper describes the development of a game application for seniors to train their memory and learning abilities. From an initial co-discovery evaluation participants were found to prefer more cognitive challenge and expected more synergy between the games. Based on this feedback, a redesign was developed consisting of nine cognitive games, which were integrated in a higher-level maze game. ...

Traditional university instructional formats and methods are experimenting an increasing lack of effectiveness, mainly because student's lack of motivation. The NUCLEO e-learning system tries to approach the learning scenario to the engaging and immersive formats of the videogames. It provides a futurist scenario in which students (represented by avatars) have to collaborate to solve a learning...

We examine a naming game on an adaptive weighted network. A weight of connection for a given pair of agents depends on their communication success rate and determines the probability with which the agents communicate. In some cases, depending on the parameters of the model, the preference toward successfully communicating agents is essentially negligible and the model behaves similarly to the n...

The problem of finding the threshold of a psychometric function is of major interest to researchers in the field of psychophysics, and has applications in many areas of medical diagnosis, particularly those dealing with perception, such as optometry and hearing tests. This problem is closely related to other problems in computer science, such as search with errors, however most existing literat...

A powerful technique for optimizing an evolving system “agent” is co-evolution, in which one evolves the agent’s environment at the same time that one evolves the agent. Here we consider such co-evolution when there is more than one agent, and the agents interact with one another. By definition, the environment of such a set of agents defines a non-cooperative game they are playing. So in this ...

Understanding the behaviour of a system through the properties of the elements of the system is a central problem in several fields of contemporary research. Appealing approaches for gaining such understanding have been proposed in complex systems studies. One particular approach is based on the scheme of agent-based modelling, in which the elements of the system are described by a set of preci...

Mobile computer games have become increasingly popular in recent years. A major factor for successful game development is the adequate control of the game’s difficulty. This paper discusses justification for dynamic difficulty adaption for Parkour games. It presents an adaptive mechanism for difficulty adjustment in response to the player’s run-time performance i...

In 1996, NASA will launch the Mars Pathfinder spacecraft, which will carry an 11 kg rover to explore the immediate vicinity of the lander. To assess the capabilities of the rover, we have constructed a new microrover testbed consisting of the Rocky 3.2 vehicle and an indoor test arena containing Mars analog terrain and overhead cameras for automatic, real-time tracking of the true rover positio...

In this paper, we deal with some specific domains of applications to game theory. This is one of the major class of models in the new approaches of modelling in the economic domain. For that, we use genetic automata which allow to buid adaptive strategies for the players. We explain how the automata-based formalism proposed matrix representation of automata with multiplicities allows to define ...
