This gives a new algorithmic point of view to the theory. Furthermore, modern topics such as the spreading of gossip or disease in social networks have lead to new challenging problems in search and rendezvous. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eSearch Theory: A Game Theoretic Perspective\u003c\/i\u003e introduces the first integrated approach to Search and Rendezvous from the perspectives of  biologists, computer scientists and mathematicians. This contributed volume covers a wide range of topics including rendezvous problems and solutions, rendezvous on graphs, search games on biology, mobility in governed social networks, search and security, and more.  Most chapters also include case studies or a  survey, in addition to a chapter on the future direction of Search and Rendezvous research. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book targets researchers and practitioners working in computer science, mathematics and biology as a reference book.  Advanced level students focused on these fields will also find this book valuable as a secondary text book or reference.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2015-06-17\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781493900671\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4614-6825-7\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 303\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer New York","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45587629441164,"sku":"9781493900671","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781493900671.jpg?v=1776539573","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9781493900671","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
