David Hales

David Hales is senior research fellow at The Open University in the UK. He researches in the overlap between computer science and social science. Specifically, open distributed systems that include both machine and human agencies where the imposition of central control is not an option and one can't rely on the "invisible hands" of orthodox economic (or game) theory.
