Mechanism Design by Creditability

چکیده
This paper attends to the problem of a mechanism designer seeking to influence the outcome of a strategic game based on her creditability. The mechanism designer offers additional payments to the players depending on their mutual choice of strategies in order to steer them to certain decisions. Of course, the mechanism designer aims at spending as little as possible and yet implementing her desired outcome. We present several algorithms for this optimization problem both for singleton target strategy profiles and target strategy profile regions. Furthermore, the paper shows how a bankrupt mechanism designer can decide efficiently whether strategy profiles can be implemented at no cost at all. Finally, risk-averse players and dynamic games are examined.

Mobile System’s Creditability Management in P2P Networks using Mamdani Fuzzy Inference Systems
New mobile devices and mobile Internet applications are transforming the traditional concept of computing and user’s experience. Peer to peer (P2P) mobile systems are autonomous and decentralized systems. Each peer in the network is heterogeneous and is not fully reliable. In this paper it has been tried to estimate the creditability of each peer in the network using Mamdani Fuzzy Inference Sys...
متن کاملCreditability-based weighted voting for reducing false positives and negatives in intrusion detection
False positives (FPs) and false negatives (FNs) happen in every Intrusion Detection System (IDS). How often they occur is regarded as a measurement of the accuracy of the system. Frequent occurrences of FPs not only reduce the throughput of an IDS as FPs block the normal traffic and also degrade its trustworthiness. It is also difficult to eradicate all FNs from an IDS. One way to overcome the ...
