  2. 1. Game Theory and Agents

    Author : Stefan J. Johansson; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Game Theory; Multi-Agent Systems; No Free Lunch Theorem; Characteristic Distributions;

    Abstract : A fundamental problem in multi agent systems is conflict resolution. A conflict occurs in general when the agents have to deal with inconsistent goals, such as a demand for shared resources. We investigate how a game theoretic approach may be a helpful and efficient tool in examining a class of conflicts in multi agent systems. READ MORE

  4. 2. Measuring the Unobservable: Selecting Which Managers for Higher Hierarchical Levels

    Author : Anna Stafsudd; Företagsekonomiska institutionen; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Företagsledning; management; Management of enterprises; homosocial reproduction; tournament theory; top management; selection; recruitment;

    Abstract : Recruitment and selection of managers is to a large degree characterized by information uncertainty. Managers’ performance is difficult to evaluate, as their responsibility consists of so many different aspects, as they may not always be observed due to need for freedom of action and as their work is affected by factors in their environment, which are outside of their control.

  5. 3. Degrees in Random Graphs and Tournament Limits

    Author : Erik Thörnblad; Svante Janson; Erik Broman; Daniel Kráľ; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Random graphs; degree distributions; degree sequences; graph limits; tournaments; Mathematics; Matematik;

    Abstract : This thesis consists of an introduction and six papers on the topics of degree distributions in random graphs and tournaments and their limits.The first two papers deal with a dynamic random graph, evolving in time through duplication and deletion of vertices and edges. In Paper I we study the degree densities of this model. READ MORE

  6. 4. Exploring affordability in concept generation for complex defence products

    Author : Daniel Amann; Mats Magnusson; Ingrid Kihlander; Poul Kyvsgaard Hansen; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Affordability; complex product systems; concept generation; CoPS; defence; front end of innovation; innovation management; product development; tournament goods; Machine Design; Maskinkonstruktion;

    Abstract : National defence budgets face pressure from intergenerational escalating costs for complex defence products, such as fighter aircraft and submarines. These escalating costs originate from ever-increasing performance requirements due to the competitive nature of warfare. In combat, only winning is good enough. READ MORE

  7. 5. Sport-sort : sorting algorithms and sport tournaments
