Hi Steve,
Here are a few from the evol of cooperation literature.
At the title suggests, this first is about indirect information;
it also looks at the effect of noisy info:
Nowak, M. A. & Sigmund, K. Evolution of indirect reciprocity by
image scoring. Nature 393, 573-577 (1998).
This one has some experiments on how many others does an
agent interact with:
--------------
Evolution of cooperation without reciprocity.
Riolo, R., Cohen, M. D. & Axelrod, R. Nature 414, 441-443 (2001).
These look at the effects of different interaction topologies,
eg, neighbors in a lattice, random (soup), etc.
These also include a few references to other studies of
the effects of topology on the evolution of cooperation:
The Role of Social Structure in the Maintenance of Cooperative Regimes.
Michael D. Cohen, Rick L. Riolo and Robert Axelrod.
Rationality and Society, 13 (2001), pp. 5-32.
Beyond Geography: Cooperation with persistent links in the absence of
clustered neighborhoods.
Robert Axelrod, Rick L. Riolo and Michael D. Cohen.
Personality and Social Psychology Review, 6, 341-346.
The Emergence of Social Organization in the Prisoners' Dilemma: How
Context-Preservation and other Factors Promote Cooperation.
Michael D. Cohen, Rick L. Riolo and Robert Axelrod.
Santa Fe Institute Working Paper 99-01-002.
------------------
In the basic El Farol Bar Problem, all communication
is through "competition", but I think a few people have
looked at what happens when the agents are allowed to
directly communicate with each other, eg i think this may:
Edmonds, B. (1999). Gossip, Sexual Recombination and the El Farol bar:
modelling the emergence of heterogeneity. Journal of Artificial Societies
and Social Simulation, 2(3),
<http://www.soc.surrey.ac.uk/JASSS/2/3/2.html>.
I'll ask for some refs from my epid. colleagues regarding (a),
since they are very interested in that.
I'd love to hear about any others you find.
