Multi-Agent Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that studies the design of rules for systems containing multiple intelligent entities.

AboutAbout the lab
Designing the rules of collective decision-making.
The Multi-Agent Lab studies multi-agent systems, which are systems that contain multiple intelligent entities (agents).
Focusing on settings such as the Internet where humans and software coexist, the lab describes problems such as lab assignment and e-commerce within the frameworks of game theory and microeconomics.
Building on this, it uses algorithmic and optimization techniques to design and analyze systems and social institutions.
The lab accepts questions about its research and lab visits at any time.
Key terms
- Multi-agent system
- A system that contains multiple intelligent entities (agents). It also covers cases where humans and software are mixed
- Mechanism design
- The design of rules for interaction that lead to desirable outcomes when participants make social decisions. Also called institutional design
ResearchResearch themes
The lab studies systems that contain multiple intelligent entities (agents), with a particular focus on mechanism design, which designs the rules of collective decision-making. It also works on distributed constraint satisfaction, which coordinates the actions of cooperating agents, and on equilibrium analysis in repeated games. Specific subjects include combinatorial auctions in e-commerce, facility location problems, the stable marriage problem (matching), and sensor networks.
