Abstract :
The traditional representations of games using the extensive form or the strategic (normal) form obscure much of the structure that is present in real-world games. We extend multi-agent influence diagrams into dynamic multi-agent influence diagrams. In consequence, this data structure can be used for modeling multistage games and clearly representing them in semantics of time. It can also simplify the dependence relations between variables in multi-agent influence diagrams of multi-agent context.
