A Simulator for Hedonic Games
This addresses the difficulty for researchers and practitioners in modeling coalition formation by offering a practical simulation tool, though it is incremental as it applies existing methods to a new software implementation.
The authors tackled the problem of manually simulating hedonic games by developing an online software that enables fast and visual simulations of various types of hedonic games, providing a tool for easier experimentation and analysis.
Hedonic games are meant to model how coalitions of people form and break apart in the real world. However, it is difficult to run simulations when everything must be done by hand on paper. We present an online software that allows fast and visual simulation of several types of hedonic games. http://lukemiles.org/hedonic-games/
