Landscaping personification technologies: from interactions to relationships (2008)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Benyon, D., & Mival, O. (2008, April). Landscaping personification technologies: from interactions to relationships. Presented at Proceeding of the twenty-sixth annual CHI conference extended abstracts on Human factors in computing systems - CHI '08

Personification technologies are technologies that encourage people to anthropomorphize. These technologies try to get people to form relationships with them rather than simply interact with them. They may do this through having behaviours that encou... Read More about Landscaping personification technologies: from interactions to relationships.

Uncertainty in iterated cooperation games (2008)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Andras, P. (2008). Uncertainty in iterated cooperation games. In 2008 IEEE Congress on Evolutionary Computation (IEEE World Congress on Computational Intelligence) (593-599). https://doi.org/10.1109/CEC.2008.4630856

The emergence and evolution of cooperation among selfish individuals is a key question of theoretical biology. Uncertainty of outcomes of interactions between individuals is an important determinant of cooperative behavior. Here we describe a model t...
