Simulating Theoretical Models of Decision Making by Prolog and Spreadsheet

updated: 9 Feb 2010

Japanese

Welcome!

I am interested in theoretical and computational modeling decision makers and their knowledge processing. I have been trying to build systems which simulates decision theory, game theory, social choice or mechanism design mainly using Prolog or Spreadsheet. Thank you.

Prolog

This part contains decision-making modeling in rational choice theories, Operations Research, and problem solving (Artificial Intelligence). Source codes have been tested on SWI-Prolog version 1.9.0, 5.0.9 or after.
