His research interests revolve around issues of cooperation and competition among agents, and the use of economic theory, voting theory, and game theory to establish appropriate foundations for Distributed Artificial Intelligence. Dr. Rosenschein received his B.A. in Applied Mathematics from Harvard University (1979), and at Stanford University he received his M.S. (1982) and Ph.D. (1986) in Computer Science, respectively. Dr. Rosenschein co-authored the book, Rules of Encounter: Designing Conventions for Automated Negotiation among Computer, published by MIT Press in 1994, which explores how automated agents can be designed in ways that allow them to reach cooperative agreements, or cope with inevitable conflicts.
