Abstract
In this paper, the famous Prisoner's Dilemma Problem is reexamined by using the
methodology of the General System Problem Solving (GSPS) Framework. It is shown
that this framework provides us with a powerful means to take into account the
secondary effects that were ignored by previous strategies. In a classroom
contest, the new strategy proved far superior to previously employed techniques.
