Amy Greenwald presents The 62nd meeting of PRAGUE COMPUTER SCIENCE SEMINAR

Solving Games Forwards and Backwards

Amy Greenwald is Professor of Computer Science at Brown University in
Providence, Rhode Island, USA. Her research focuses on game-theoretic and
economic interactions among computational agents with applications to automated
bidding and negotiation in domains ranging from advertising auctions to supply
chains. She is also active in promoting diversity in Computer Science, leading
multiple initiatives at primary and secondary public schools

Computing equilibria in games is a problem of great interest in both economics
and computer science. We present a min-max formulation of this problem, in which
the minimizer seeks an equilibrium solution for the game, while the maximizer
seeks to find fault with the proposed solutions.
