1 Syllabus, Fall 2002 for: Agents, Games & Evolution OPIM 325 (Simulation) sok/teaching/age/f02/ Steven O. Kimbrough August 1, Brief Description Agents, Games & Evolution (OPIM 325) is about recent and developing results in our fundamental understanding of strategic behavior. We will focus on the design and behavior of artificial agents in strategic (or game-theoretic) situations. We will be especially concerned with strategic contexts of commercial import, such as bargaining and repeated play. We shall dwell on effective agent learning techniques, including evolutionary methods and reinforcement learning. A main theme in the course is the inherent difficulty, even unknowability, of the problem of strategy acquisition. We will rely mainly on computational experiments (or simulations), in distinction to analytic mathematical methods, for studying strategy formation and strategic behavior (either by individuals or by groups). Much of the class work will be devoted to discussing and interpreting computational experiments that have been reported in the literature, or that can be undertaken with tools provided in class. Computer programming is neither required nor discouraged for the course. Students completing the course can expect to come away with: Solid understanding of what is known and what is not known about the problem of designing procedures for strategic behavior, Familiarity with the principal methods, and results of applying those methods, for design of artificial agents in strategic contexts, and Deepened appreciation for complex, adaptive systems. 1
