NSSDC Conference on Mass Storage Systems and Technologies for Space and Earth Science Applications, volume 1

Papers and viewgraphs from the conference are presented. This conference served as a broad forum for the discussion of a number of important issues in the field of mass storage systems. Topics include magnetic disk and tape technologies, optical disks and tape, software storage and file management systems, and experiences with the use of a large, distributed storage system. The technical presentations describe, among other things, integrated mass storage systems that are expected to be available commercially. Also included is a series of presentations from Federal Government organizations and research institutions covering their mass storage requirements for the 1990's

Cooperative decision making in a stochastic environment

Abstract: Cooperative game theory is a mathematical tool to analyze situations involving several individuals who can obtain certain benefits by cooperating. The main questions this theory addresses are who will cooperate with whom and how will the corresponding benefits be divided. Most results of cooperative game theory, however, only apply to cases where these benefits are deterministic. In this thesis we abandon this assumption and allow for stochastic benefits. Examples of such situations can be found in linear production situations, sequencing and financial markets. The aim of this work is then to develop a theory on games with stochastic payoffs using traditional game theory as a guideline
