Course Outline

Introduction to Multi-Agent Systems

  • Overview of Multi-Agent Systems (MAS)
  • Applications of MAS in real-world domains for government and other sectors
  • Comparison with single-agent systems

Architectures for Multi-Agent Systems

  • Centralized versus decentralized architectures for government applications
  • Hybrid and layered approaches to MAS design
  • Tools and frameworks for MAS development, such as JADE and SPADE, suitable for government use

Agent Communication and Coordination

  • Communication protocols and languages, including FIPA ACL, essential for government systems
  • Coordination techniques: planning, negotiation, and synchronization in MAS for government operations
  • Emergent behavior and self-organization in MAS within public sector contexts

Game Theory and Decision Making

  • Basics of game theory applicable to MAS in government settings
  • Cooperative versus competitive strategies for government agents
  • Resolving conflicts among agents in public sector applications

Learning in Multi-Agent Systems

  • Reinforcement learning techniques in MAS for government tasks
  • Collaborative and adversarial learning dynamics relevant to government operations
  • Transfer learning and knowledge sharing among agents in government environments

Challenges and Advanced Topics

  • Scalability and performance issues in large MAS environments for government use
  • Trust and security considerations in agent communication for government systems
  • Ethical implications and considerations of MAS development for government applications

Hands-On Activities
