Computer Science and Decision Theory
Author: Fred S. Roberts
ABSTRACT
This paper reviews applications in computer science that decision
theorists have addressed for years, discusses the requirements posed
by these applications that place great strain on decision
theory/social science methods, and explores applications in the social
and decision sciences of newer decision-theoretic methods developed
with computer science applications in mind. The paper deals with the
relation between computer science and decision-theoretic methods of
consensus, with the relation between computer science and game theory
and decisions, and with ``algorithmic decision theory.''
