"You must be joking?', I hear you say. Well, think again -or rather, watch the video beneath. Apparently game theory did predict the recent events in North Africa, to give just one example...
The concept is both simple and (hence) appealing. Take a limited set of metrics on which a particular -potential- event would depend. Rate them, map them, scale them, superpose them, ... in order to provide them a statistical weight, and there you have it: the likeliness that a given event would take place at a given time in a given location...
I wonder if you can download that software somewhere for free ;-)
But, all joking aside, it's something worth trying out...
