Darwin recognized that natural selection could not favor a trait in one species solely for the benefit of another species. The modern, selfish-gene view of the world suggests that cooperation between individuals, whether of the same species or different species, should be especially vulnerable to the evolution of noncooperators. Yet, cooperation is prevalent in nature both within and between sp...

Cooperation among the nodes in adhoc networks is an important issue for communication to be possible. But some nodes do not cooperate in communication and saves their energy. These nodes are called as selfish nodes. In the literature there are many methods which deal with the selfish behavior of t...

The Interactive Cooperation Tournament How to Identify Opportunities for Selfish Behavior of Computational Entities1

Distributed reputation systems are a self-organizing means of supporting trusting decisions. In general, the robustness of distributed reputation systems to misbehavior is evaluated by the means of computer based simulation. However, the fundamental issue arises of how to anticipate kinds of successful misbehavior. Existing work in this field approaches this issue in an ad-hoc manner. Therefore...
