Fish-Wars Revisited: A Stochastic Incomplete-Information Harvesting Game

This study employs a spatially distributed stochastic extension of the classical “fishwar” harvesting game. The model addresses the bioeconomic impact of exploiting a trans-boundary fish stock in a stochastic marine environment subject to natural fluctuations and long-term regime changes. Our goal is to study the evolution of the fishery, either with cooperative or non-cooperative harvesting, w...

Code clones, the result of the ”copy&paste” programming technique, have negative impact on software quality and on the efficiency of the software maintenance process. Although copying may be the fastest way of creating a new feature, after a while it is really hard to detect and maintain the multiple instances of the same code snippets. Based on static source code analysis, clone detectors try ...
