This chapter discusses the game-theoretic aspects of computing. Game theorists would probably favor stochastic models of failure. There is a great need for interesting theories on fault-tolerant computing where failures occur at random. A distributed system consists of a large number of loosely...

It is unlikely that any frontier of economics/econometrics is being pushed faster, further than that of computational techniques. The computer has become a tool for performing as well as an environment in which to perform economics and econometrics, taking over where theory bogs down, allowing...

New Directions in Computational Economics brings together for the first time a diverse selection of papers, sharing the underlying theme of application of computing technology as a tool for achieving solutions to realistic problems in computational economics and related areas in the...
