Strategic Interactions in Multiagent Systems

自利的或竞争性的多代理系统是指多个代理交互，但可能具有不同的目标和信息的设置。这些系统中的一些关键问题是：1)智能体应该如何以及何时协调它们的行动和决策；2)如何设计协议来处理智能体的自身利益并实现系统范围内的理想目标。自利多智能体系统的例子比比皆是，从投票到游戏，多智能体系统研究社区的想法对从港口安全到智能电网的应用产生了重大影响。

Self-interested, or competitive, multiagent systems are settings where multiple agents interact while potentially having different goals and information. Some of the key issues in these systems are i) how and when should agents coordinate their actions and decisions and ii) how to design protocols to handle the agents' self-interest and achieve system-wide desirable goals. Examples of self-interested multiagent systems abound, ranging from voting to game-playing, and ideas from the multiagent systems research community have had significant impact in applications ranging from port security to the Smart Grid.
