BIB-VERSION:: CS-TR-v2.0 ID:: STAN//CS-TR-84-1032 ENTRY:: May 27, 1995 ORGANIZATION:: Stanford University, Department of Computer Science TITLE:: Solving the Prisoner's Dilemma TYPE:: Technical Report AUTHOR:: Genesereth, Michael R. AUTHOR:: Ginsberg, Matthew L. AUTHOR:: Rosenschein, Jeffrey S. DATE:: November 1984 PAGES:: 16 ABSTRACT:: A framework is proposed for analyzing various types of rational interaction. We consider a variety of restrictions of participants' moves; each leads to a diferent characterization of rational behavior. Under an assumption of "common rationality," it is proven that participants will cooperate, rather than defect, in the Prisoner's Dilemma.
