Opis

This book extends the classic stability concept of the non-transferable utility core, proposing new belief-based stability criteria under uncertainty and showing use of the concept to analyze the stability of a new type of belief-based coalition forming game.

Belief-based Stability in Coalition Formation with Uncertainty An Intelligent Agents’ Perspective discusses coalition stability. It extends the classic stability concept of the non-transferable utility core by proposing new belief-based stability criteria under uncertainty, and illustrates how the new concept can be used to analyze the stability of a new type of belief-based coalition formation game.

The book is intended for graduate students, engineers, and researchers in the field of artificial intelligence and computer science.
