When the interaction involves more than two agents things become more complicated, and in large groups cooperation can hardly emerge. In this work we use a Public Goods Game to investigate whether publicly available reputation scores may support the evolution of cooperati...

Recent research has identified the heterogeneity as crucial for the evolution of cooperation in spatial population. However, the influence of heterogeneous noise is still lack. Inspired by this interesting question, in this work, we try to incorporate heterogeneous noise into the evaluation of utility, where only a proportion of population possesses noise, whose range can also be tuned. We find...

It suggests which parts are likely to remain stable and which ’problem’ aspects are likely to change, and it gives us insight into some of the design choices made. In this paper we show how recovered views of succesive versions of the same software system can be used to track evolution. We first briefly desc...

In this paper, we challenge this view of group action with a very simple contest game that exhibits a bilateral interplay between intergroup interaction and within-group organization. In a static setting, because of the free-riding incentives, the larger group is disadvantaged in the competition with its riva...
