Course Outline

Foundations of Multi-Agent Systems

  • Foundational principles of Multi-Agent Systems (MAS)
  • Operational applications of MAS in public and private sectors
  • Structural and functional comparisons with single-agent systems

Architectural Models for Multi-Agent Systems

  • Centralized versus decentralized design paradigms
  • Hybrid and hierarchical integration strategies for MAS
  • Development environments and frameworks for government use (e.g., JADE, SPADE)

Inter-Agent Communication and Coordination

  • Standardized communication protocols and message languages (e.g., FIPA ACL)
  • Coordination methodologies including planning, negotiation, and synchronization
  • Emergent dynamics and self-organizing capabilities within MAS

Game Theory and Strategic Decision Making

  • Core concepts of game theory applied to MAS environments
  • Cooperative versus competitive strategic models
  • Mechanisms for resolving conflicts among autonomous agents

Learning Mechanisms in Multi-Agent Systems
