This award is an Accomplishment Based Renewal. Previous research by the principal investigator has established the conditions under which cooperation can get started and maintain itself in simple environments. The environments previously examined include the two-person Prisoner's Dilemma, and an n-person norms game. In the last five years, this work has seen numerous applications to international political economy, antitrust law, government regulation, economic theory, artificial intelligence, and other fields. The current research investigates how collective properties (such as cooperation or conflict) emerge from the actions of individuals who adapt to each other within a complex population structure. The method is to develop a series of parallel adaptive models of whole populations. The models will be parallel in that all the individuals will be active at one time. The models will be adaptive in that the individuals will adjust their behavior, in light of their own goals, to the effects that they are experiencing from others. Rather than assume that the adjustment process is based upon rational calculation, the investigator will assume it is based upon learning from experience or differential survival of relatively successful strategies. This research is important for the social sciences because standard theoretical and mathematical approaches have traditionally assumed that only one or two things are happening at a time. In politics and society a great many events occur at once. Im particular, many people make interdependent choices that influence each other's environments. Thus an understanding of parallel adaptive models has the potential to enhance our insight into a wide variety of political processes such as: political leadership, public participation, domestic influences on foreign policy, regime formation in international political economy, and alliance politics in international security affairs. While this project may not provide definitive treatments of any one of these areas, it promises to promote the appreciation of certain features that are common to all of them.

该奖项是基于成就的更新。 之前的研究 主要研究者已经确定了 合作可以在简单的环境中开始并维持。 先前研究的环境包括两人囚犯的 两难和n人规范博弈。 在过去的五年里，这项工作 在国际政治经济学中有许多应用， 反垄断法，政府规制，经济理论，人为 情报和其他领域。 目前的研究调查如何集体财产（如 合作或冲突）产生于个人的行为， 在复杂的人口结构中相互适应。 述的方法 是开发一系列并行的适应性模型， 人口。 这些模型是平行的，因为所有的个体 将在一段时间内活跃起来。 这些模型将是自适应的， 个人会根据自己的目标调整自己的行为， 他们从他人那里感受到的影响。 而不是假设 调整过程是基于合理的计算， 研究者将假设它是基于从经验中学习，或 相对成功策略的生存差异。 这项研究对社会科学很重要，因为标准 理论和数学方法传统上认为， 一次只发生一两件事 在政治和 社会上许多事件同时发生。 特别是，很多人 做出影响彼此环境的相互依赖的选择。 因此，对并行自适应模型的理解有可能 增强我们对各种政治进程的洞察力，例如： 政治领导，公众参与，国内影响， 外交政策，国际政治经济中的政权形成， 国际安全事务中的联盟政治。 虽然这 项目可能不会提供任何一个这些明确的治疗方法 它承诺促进对某些功能的欣赏， 都是一样的
