Game theory is a tool to model and discover social mechanisms. The aim of this chapter is to show how the tool can be used by engaging the reader's interest in the game-theoretic modelling of social dilemmas. Social dilemmas are situations in which several agents face a decision conflict because of their interdependence.

Control Theoretic Models of Pointing [PDF]
This article presents an empirical comparison of four models from manual control theory on their ability to model targeting behaviour by human users using a mouse: McRuer’s Crossover, Costello’s Surge, second-order lag (2OL), and the Bang-bang model.

On Game-Theoretic Models of Networks [PDF]
In this paper, we study the complexity of deciding which player has a winning strategy in certain types of McNaughton games. These graph games can be used as models for computational problems and processes of infinite duration. We consider the cases (1) where the first player wins when vertices in a specified set are visited infinitely often and ...
