Agent-Based Evolutionary Game Dynamics
by L.R. Izquierdo, S.S. Izquierdo, W.H. Sandholm - Pressbooks , 2019
This book is a guide to implement simple agent-based evolutionary models using NetLogo. All the models we implement are agent-based, i.e. individual agents and their interactions are explicitly represented in the models ...

Epistemic Game Theory and Logic
by Paul Weirich (ed.) - MDPI AG , 2017
Game theory addresses situations with multiple agents in which the outcome of an agent's act depends on the acts of the other agents. The agents may be mindless organisms. Epistemic game theory addresses games in which the agents have minds.

Games in Verification
by Moshe Y. Vardi - ESSLLI , 2001
Games have shown to provide a useful paradigm for reasoning about reactive systems. This text demonstrates the power of the game-theoretic approach, by showing how it gives rise to a unifying algorithmic framework through the use of tree automata.
