Abstract :
We present an overview of an emerging methodology for applying game-theoretic analysis to strategic environments described by a simulator. We first introduce the problem of solving a simulation-based game, and proceed to review convergence results and confidence bounds about game-theoretic equilibrium estimates. Next, we present techniques for approximating equilibria in simulation-based games, and close with a series of applications.
