Abstract

This talk will present an introduction to the fertile area of computational game theory. At the core of our project is GAMESMAN, an open-source AI architecture developed for solving, playing and analyzing two-person, abstract strategy games (e.g., Tic-Tac-Toe or Chess). Over the past twelve years, over four hundred undergraduates have implemented more than sixty-five games and several advanced software engineering projects. The goal of this talk is to describe the project’s mathematical core, the fruits of our labor, and future research directions.
