Satisficing Games and Decision Making: With Applications to Engineering and Comp

Description: Satisficing Games and Decision Making by Wynn C. Stirling This book outlines an alternative approach to mathematical decision-making, using novel algorithms and techniques to more closely model the way humans make decisions. It will be of great interest to engineers, computer scientists and mathematicians working on artificial intelligence and expert systems. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description In our day-to-day lives we constantly make decisions which are simply good enough rather than optimal. Most computer-based decision-making algorithms, on the other hand, doggedly seek only the optimal solution based on rigid criteria and reject any others. In this book, Professor Stirling outlines an alternative approach, using novel algorithms and techniques which can be used to find satisficing solutions. Building on traditional decision and game theory, these techniques allow decision-making systems to cope with more subtle situations where self and group interests conflict, perfect solutions cant be found and human issues need to be taken into account - in short, more closely modelling the way humans make decisions. The book will therefore be of great interest to engineers, computer scientists and mathematicians working on artificial intelligence and expert systems. Notes In our day-to-day lives we constantly make decisions which are simply ‘good enough’ rather than optimal. Most computer decision making algorithms, however, seek only the optimal solution based on rigid criteria and reject others. This book outlines an alternative approach, using novel algorithms and techniques to more closely model the way humans make decisions. It will therefore be of great interest to engineers, computer scientists and mathematicians working on artificial intelligence and expert systems.
