Multi-Agent Systems

This group gathers pioneers of computing methodologies whose primary contribution was systems made of many interacting autonomous agents rather than a single reasoning or learning system, including multi agent coordination and negotiation, game theoretic analysis of strategic interaction among computational agents, mechanism and market design, and the algorithmic foundations of distributed artificial intelligence more broadly. It follows the Multi-agent systems strand of the ACM Computing Classification System's Artificial intelligence area under Computing methodologies. Their shared work is the interaction among several agents, as distinct from the internal reasoning, learning or perception of one agent working alone, which belong to the other groups above.
