Abstract

While contemporary Game Theory has concentrated much on strategy, there is somewhat less attention paid to the role of knowledge and information transfer. There are exceptions to this rule of course, especially starting with the work of Aumann [2], and with contributions made by ourselves with coauthors Cogan, Krasucki and Pacuit [17,13]. But we have still only scratched the surface and there is still a lot more that can be done. In this paper we point to the important role which knowledge plays in social procedures (colorfully called Social Software [15]).
