Competition Versus Cooperation

On Cooperation Versus Competition Between Autonomous Resource Management Agents

A common issue in distributed systems is how to optimize resource sharing when several resource management agents have access to the same resource pool. When the total resource demand reaches max capacity of the common pool, some strategy for resource sharing must be used. We compare “altruistic” behavior in which agents give up resources according to available evidence with “selfish” approache...

Cooperation Competition Running head: A THEORY OF COOPERATION - COMPETITION A Theory of Cooperation - Competition and Beyond

This chapter is concerned with my interrelated theoretical work in the areas of cooperation competition, conflict resolution, social justice, and social relations. The theory of cooperation competition is a component of the other theories. Thus, the theory of conflict resolution is based on this theory and my Crude Law of Social Relations. My work in social justice is also based on this theory,...

Distinct neural patterns of social cognition for cooperation versus competition

How do people consider other minds during cooperation versus competition? Some accounts predict that theory of mind (ToM) is recruited more for cooperation versus competition or competition versus cooperation, whereas other accounts predict similar recruitment across these two contexts. The present fMRI study examined activity in brain regions for ToM (bilateral temporoparietal junction, precun...
