Multiagent Learning in Large Anonymous Games
Ian A. Kash, Eric J. Friedman, Joseph Y. Halpern
In large systems, it is important for agents to learn to act effectively, but sophisticated multi-agent learning algorithms generally do not scale. An alternative approach is to fi…
The Lotus-Eater Attack
Ian A. Kash, Eric J. Friedman, Joseph Y. Halpern
Many protocols for distributed and peer-to-peer systems have the feature that nodes will stop providing service for others once they have received a certain amount of service. Exam…
Optimizing Scrip Systems: Efficiency, Crashes, Hoarders, and Altruists
Ian A. Kash, Eric J. Friedman, Joseph Y. Halpern
We discuss the design of efficient scrip systems and develop tools for empirically analyzing them. For those interested in the empirical study of scrip systems, we demonstrate how…
Efficiency and Nash Equilibria in a Scrip System for P2P Networks
Eric j. Friedman, Joseph Y. Halpern, Ian Kash
A model of providing service in a P2P network is analyzed. It is shown that by adding a scrip system, a mechanism that admits a reasonable Nash equilibrium that reduces free riding…
