On the emergence of semantic agreement among rational agents

Karl Aberer

Today’s complex online applications often require the interaction of multiple (web) services that belong to potentially different business entities. Interoperability is a core element of such an environment, yet not a straightforward one due to the lack of ...

The emerging sharing economy is fueled by products that some consumers buy new. This paper introduces an overlapping-generations model to analyze consumers’ consumption choices and the equilibrium in the sharing market. We derive a retailer’s optimal prici ...

A Continuum of Commitment

Thomas Alois Weber

We examine a generic three-stage game for two players with alternating moves, where the first player can choose the level of adjustment cost to be paid in the last period to modify the action she announced in the first period. In the resulting continuum of ...

The space around the body, i.e., peripersonal space (PPS), is conceived as a multisensory-motor interface between body and environment. PPS is represented by frontoparietal neurons integrating tactile, visual, and auditory stimuli occurring near the body [ ...

Analyzing the Emergence of Semantic Agreement among Rational Agents

Todays complex online applications often require the interaction of multiple services that potentially belong to different business entities. Interoperability is a core element of such an environment, yet not a straightforward one. In this paper, we argue ...

We introduce the Multiplicative Update Selector and Estimator (MUSE) algorithm for sparse approximation in under-determined linear regression problems. Given ƒ = Φα* + μ, the MUSE provably and efficiently finds a k-sparse vector α̂ such that ∥Φα̂ − ƒ∥∞ ≤ ∥ ...

Strategy logic

We introduce strategy logic, a logic that treats strategies in two-player games as explicit first-order objects. The explicit treatment of strategies allows us to specify properties of nonzero-sum games in a simple and natural way. We show that the one-alt ...

Multi-user communication theory typically studies the fundamental limits of communication systems, and considers communication schemes that approach or even achieve these limits. The functioning of many such schemes assumes that users always cooperate, eve ...

The Role of Game Theory in Key Agreement Over a Public Channel

Michael Christoph Gastpar

In this work we study the problem of key agreement over a public noiseless channel when Alice, Bob and Charlie observe discrete memoryless sources of an unknown distribution. Alice and Bob want to agree on a key K-AB that is protected from Charlie. At the ...
