Circumventing the Price of Anarchy: Leading Dynamics to Good Behavior
: Many natural games can have a dramatic difference between the quality of their best and worst Nash equilibria, even in pure strategies. Yet, nearly all work to date on dynamics s...

On the Social Cost of Distributed Selfish Content Replication
We study distributed content replication networks formed voluntarily by selfish autonomous users, seeking access to information objects that originate from distant servers. Each us...

Applying metaheuristic techniques to search the space of bidding strategies in combinatorial auctions
Many non-cooperative settings that could potentially be studied using game theory are characterized by having very large strategy spaces and payoffs that are costly to compute. Be...

Uncoordinated Load Balancing and Congestion Games in P2P Systems
In P2P systems, users often have many choices of peers from whom to download their data. Each user cares primarily about its own response time, which depends on how many other use...

A computational characterization of multiagent games with fallacious rewards
Agents engaged in noncooperative interaction may seek to achieve a Nash equilibrium; this requires that agents be aware of others’ rewards. Misinformation about rewards leads to...
