Using identity premium for cooperation enforcement and whitewashing prevention in rational environments
One fundamental issue in existing reputation mechanisms, particularly those in open and decentralized multi-agent systems, is whitewashing attacks by rational providers. If identities are cheap, it is beneficial for a provider to simply defect when selling ...
2010Infinite labeled trees: From rational to Sturmian trees
This paper studies infinite unordered d-ary trees with nodes labeled by {0,1}. We introduce the notions of rational and Sturmian trees along with the definitions of (strongly) balanced trees and mechanical trees, and study the relations among them. In part ...
Elsevier2010Transfer Design and Incentives for Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions in Developing Countries
Philippe Thalmann, Juan Carlos Altamirano Cabrera, Ronal Gainza Carmenates
Transfers would play a key role in the implementation of Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions (NAMAs) in developing countries. In this paper, we analyze the desirable features of such transfers - i.e., individually rational, budget-balanced, anti-ince ...
Climate Economics at the NCCR Climate2010Case Studies in Cost-Optimized Paneling of Architectural Freeform Surfaces
Mark Pauly, Mario Moacir Deuss
Paneling an architectural freeform surface refers to an approximation of the de- sign surface by a set of panels that can be manufactured using a selected technology at a reasonable cost, while respecting the design intent and achieving the desired aesthet ...
2010Essays on individual decision making under uncertainty
This research project is an experimental study of decision-making in very difficult contexts resembling those encountered in financial markets. The starting point was the empirical observation that financial assets are objects of a very complex kind. Speci ...
EPFL2009Mechanisms for Making Crowds Truthful
We consider schemes for obtaining truthful reports on a common but hidden signal from large groups of rational, self-interested agents. One example are online feedback mechanisms, where users provide observations about the quality of a product or service s ...
AI Access Foundation2009On the Impact of Bounded Rationality in Peer-to-Peer Networks
In this letter, we consider peer-to-peer (P2P) networks, where multiple peers are interested in sharing their content. In the considered P2P system, autonomous and self-interested peers use a Markov Decision Process (MDP) framework to determine their uploa ...
2009Configuring and enhancing measurement systems for damage identification
Engineers often decide to measure structures upon signs of damage to determine its extent and its location. Measurement locations, sensor types and numbers of sensors are selected based on judgment and experience. Rational and systematic methods for evalua ...
Elsevier2009Effective Usage of Computational Trust Models in Rational Environments
Reputation-based trust models based on statistical learning have been intensively studied for large-scale distributed systems whereas practical application of game-theoretic approaches using sanctioning are still very little understood in such settings. Th ...
2008Effective Usage of Computational Trust Models in Rational Environments
Reputation-based trust models using statistical learning have been intensively studied for distributed systems where peers behave maliciously. However practical applications of such models in environments with both malicious and rational behaviors are stil ...
