Game-Theoretic Models of Moral and Other-Regarding Agents (extended abstract)

Some Programming Languages Suggested by Game Models (Extended Abstract)

We consider a simple and well-known category of alternating games (also known as sequential data structures) and several categories derived from it. In each case, we present an extension of Plotkin’s language FPC (or a suitable linearization thereof) which defines all computable strategies of appropriate types. The quest for such languages results in a novel selection of language primitives for...

A Decision-Theoretic Academic Advisor: Extended Abstract

This paper describes work related to stochastic modeling and decision-theoretic (DT) planning methods applicable to the real-world domain of academic advising. The uncertainty associated with stochastic planning is often approached as a problem of finding a complete mapping from states to actions (a policy). A need to plan for all contingent futures makes (DT) planning an inherently difficult p...

Game-theoretic Modeling of Transmission Line Reinforcements with Distributed Generation: (Extended Abstract)

Favourable sites for renewable generation are often remote locations (such as islands) where installed capacity, e.g. from wind turbines, exceeds local aggregate demand. We study the effect that curtailment mechanisms applied when there is excess generation have on the incentives to build additional capacity and the profitability of the generators. Next, for a two-location setting, we study the...
