At the same time, cooperative systems are notoriously difficult to model, analyze, and solve - while intuitively understood, they are not axiomatically defined in any commonly accepted manner. The works in this volume provide outstanding insights into this very complex area of research. They are the result of invited papers and selected presentations at the Fourth Annual Conf UR - https://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&AN=235671 ER -
