The ability to model individual, independent decision makers whose actions potentially affect all other decision makers renders game theory particularly attractive to apply to various fields of Information technology, especially, to analyze the performance of wireless networks. In this paper, we discuss how various interactions in cognitive radio based wireless networks can be modeled as a game...

Production costs in general, and workforce and inventory costs in particular, constitute a large fraction of the operating costs of many manufacturing plants. We introduce cooperative aggregate production planning as a way to decrease these costs. That is, when production planning of two or more facilities (plants) is integrated, they can interchange workforce and products inventory; thus, thei...

analyzing free riding problem through static games considering homogenous players has been resulted in choosing the free riding strategy as a dominant strategy for the players. in this paper free riding is analyzed through cooperation game imposing non-homogenous players using network models. players would be differentiated by their links with their neighbors in the game. evolutionary game theo...

Cooperation is the foundation of many protocols in wireless networks. Without cooperation, the performance of a network significantly decreases. Hence, all nodes in traditional networks are required to cooperate with each other. In this paper, instead of traditional networks, a network of rational and autonomous nodes is considered, which means that each node itself can decide whe...

Since the time of Western modernity, knowledge is compartmentalized into differentiated fields. This has however not mitigated the influence of natural science model of theorizing on social sciences. As a result, the discipline of organization theory has grown without the influence of abstract, ephemeral and metaphysical fields such as religion, history, mystic philosophy, arts and literature. ...
